Anorexia

by Child of God   Oct 17, 2005


They call it anorexia
I call it sacrifice
Giving up what I have
For something really nice

I say that I don't hunger
I ate a lot today
In reality I'm growing weak
I cry from hunger pain

They wonder why I'm sick
I act as I don't know
The answer is clear to me
Not to them though

Every time he sees me
He wants to know whats wrong
I tell him it's nothing
And force a smile on

But how ashamed I am
When i let food in
Sometimes it must come up
For eating is a sin

Then there are those days
When I'm too weak to stand
The doctors don't know why
They wouldn't understand

Must be dehydration
That is making me shake
The hardest addiction
Did I make a mistake?...

****im not done yet but what do u think so far???****
