Life of Ana & MIa
October 17, 2014
Avoiding food to make me feel thin,
all the thoughts in my head, I just can't win.
Scales weighing my worthless soul,
calories eating me up as whole.
The constant worries of how I look,
not thin enough according to the books.
Strong is the new skinny they say,
I wish it was all muscle that I weighed
The meal plan which I refuse to obey,
may be one day this will all go away

My struggles with an eating disorder inspired this piece. My hope is that this will show others how hard it can be to have a mental disorder. In no way am I encouraging this sort of behaviour, I just want to raise awareness.
