Hunger pains
Hunger pains.
They keep me alive,
Showing me the progress I am making.
The stuff I am giving up for beauty.
The cramps and aches are addicting.
Like the high you get right before a big fall on a rollercoaster.
You want it again despite the fear.
I know that this is bad for me but I can't give up on it.
Pretending I'm not hungry has become more than second nature because it's no longer pretend.
I'm just not hungry.
They keep me alive,
Showing me the progress I am making.
The stuff I am giving up for beauty.
The cramps and aches are addicting.
Like the high you get right before a big fall on a rollercoaster.
You want it again despite the fear.
I know that this is bad for me but I can't give up on it.
Pretending I'm not hungry has become more than second nature because it's no longer pretend.
I'm just not hungry.
