I'm not Hungry
Knocking
Knocking
Don't open it
Don't ask for it
Just leave me be
I'm not hungry
Listening
Listening
Toilet flushing
Heart rate rushing
Ignore the sound
I'm not hungry
Begging
Begging
Just one bite
Just one plate
What did I say?
I'm not hungry
Weighing
Weighing
Repeated words
Repeated numbers
Not today
I'm not hungry
Crying
Crying
Stomach aching
Mirror faking
It's okay
I'm not hungry
Dying ...
Knocking
Don't open it

Unicorn Casserole
I can't say that I have a clear perception of time
but on one day of deception I was drinking some wine
with a friend of mine, Mr. Phillip McPearson
who in reality wasn't actually a real person
He was an ex-con leprechaun
A fact which I never did dwell upon
He would visit from time to time on occasion
when I had whiskey and rye as persuasion
I puffed some pot and passed him the bowl in a glow
and he told me about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
With a sinful grin this bloke told me the joke
about the rainbow actually...

Disfigured
Holding the mirror as it cuts me,
young distorted beauty.
I here the lurking as you say,
"Hello It's me your guilty friend,
I've come uninvited moving in."
Slowly eating away my body until I disengrate.
Perhaps you may think you have the superiority over me,
Dismantling me taking away my abilities.
Sadly, you do not know the perseverance and damn stubborness fighting in me.
Good bye anorexia.

Anorexia Nervosa
my best friend's named Ana
she's a nervous, skinny girl
sometimes she's so full of life
she'll dance and sing and twirl
and though her voice
is frail and small
her lilting mumbles
form a siren's call
and I can't seem to stop
my feet or my heart
from embracing her
as we fall
my best friend's got a game we play
when I need to leave
she begs me to stay
and now I never
seem to get away
to the world beyond my room
we sit in the dark
and trade secrets in bed
I say "let's live forever!"
but...

Letter To Anorexia
i miss you,my old friend.
we were inseparable for three years.
taking on the world, fighting down the scales.
98..97..96..95..
thin, and growing thinner.
nothing could stop us.
but you went away.
now the weight is climbing.
where are you, "friend?"
i cant stop it from going up.
these ugly thighs are starting to touch.
i need you, Anna.
please wake up.
we were inseparable for three years.
taking on the world, fighting down the scales.
98..97..96..95..
thin, and growing thinner.
nothing could stop us.
but you went away.
now the weight is climbing.
where are you, "friend?"
i cant stop it from going up.
these ugly thighs are starting to touch.
i need you, Anna.
please wake up.

Anorexia
Binge, purge, cry, repeat.
Swear to me that you wont eat.
Make yourself starve to thin.
Got control? You will win.
Swear to me that you wont eat.
Make yourself starve to thin.
Got control? You will win.

Anorexia
She is made of numbers.
Not muscle
or bone
or god forbidding, fat.
She is only numbers
upon the scale,
tracing her arms,
her belly,
her thighs;
always shrinking
numbers going down,
but never quickly enough
for her to fully disappear
as she wishes.
Not muscle
