I Watch (Diary of an Anorexic)

A smile meets my face
as I see those numbers drop
begging it to go some more
this weight loss must not stop

Daring myself to a month
a month without a life
a chance to reach my goal
a starving sacrifice

a strong and bony body
thats what i will possess
a skeletal reflection
perfect? yea who'd guess?

control beyond your reach
most people envy that
they're mad because they're empty
no hope of changing fat

I stare into the mirror
still not skinny yet
when numbers scream out 65
then I'll win my bet
