Temptations
A fountain of fear
Followed by a tear
As the lever goes down
And all of the evidence goes around
And around and around
Soon it disappears from sight
But only until the next fight
The food is calling
It will be my falling
But I can't restrain
Because it seems to help my pain
The fear of being the new girl
Makes it easier to hurl
Always wanting to be skinny
Sick of all the other girls being bitchy
I just want this to end
Hoping my heart will still mend
But, until then
Food will be my weakness
And I really hope this week ends
Without anybody finding out
Even though I want to shout
I need some help getting through
But who knows what they'll do
When they find out
Probably think I'm a pathetic lout
And this poem is deteriorating
But I think my heart is recuperating
And I hope that someday
I'll be able to stand up and say
I'm a survivor, I overcame
And that is why I'm standing here today
