Covered in pink ribbon scars.
Shallow cheeks, white porcelain
Protruding ribs, tile floor
The empty stomach dance begins.
Mia, don't whisper softly in my ears
Hold me up as I faint.
Courage, courage, come
You're only as strong
As your will to fight.
Numbers, numbers, numbers
There is safety in numbers.
Grams, ounces, calories
Record them, memorize them
Recite them by heart.
Fingers, are cold.
Hands, will shake.
"It's not easy to fight
Just, give in."
Numbers, numbers, numbers
There is safety in numbers.
It's not an easy fight. but I know you are strong enough.
ReplyDeleteand you don't have to fight it alone.
