What does it take
For you to see
I'm really struggling?
It's not a voice of a lamb
Suggesting to not nibble on a treat,
But the roar of a lion,
Commanding me to not
Dare inch closer to food.
I'd rather starve
Than gain another few pounds
And I'm scared to check
Now that I've been eating
What you call "normally".
Just because I look healthier
Doesn't mean I feel healthier.
Mentally and emotionally
I'm dying and you still are blind
That these side effects
Are the end of me
Unless I end myself first
Because I dare not take
Another bite.
