Ana
My friend
My best, closest friend
You're there for me
When I need you
You whip me into shape
You love me
I can tell you do
Because you praise me
When I'm good
Ana
My friend
Anorexia nervosa
The doctor tells me
You're no good
But I know
I will always love you
You clearly
Are the smarter one
In this relationship
Because when I feel fat
You know the right things
To say and do
And when I feel good
You tell me
It's really not real
Ana
My friend
My mentor and friend
You've got my back
Literally
I mean
It's poking out
And I can feel
The bumps
Of my spine
Ana
Anorexia
Anorexia Nervosa
You've got it right
Right?
You know
What I want
Is to be skinny
You know
What I want
Is for my bones
To show
Ana
Anorexia
Anorexia Nervosa
I'm going to be honest
Sometimes
You're not such a good friend
As I presumed
But hey
We all make mistakes
Forgive and forget
Right?
Ana
My friend
Anorexia Nervosa
I'll take your word for it
I'm fat
I'm ugly
I'm worthless
You know best
Right?
