When People Said That an Eating Disorder Had a Different Voice I Didn't Know They Meant This
It's alright, right?
Yes, it's alright.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
Are you certain?
Certain as can be.
Will it hurt?
Not in the slightest.
But what if I can't?
Can't what?
What if I can't do it?
You want to, right?
I do.
You're the one making the decision in the first place.
I am.
You want this, no?
No.
But you do.
I don't.
Yes, you do.
I do, but I don't.
You say you will, yet you won't.
I can't.
But you can.
I don't want to.
But you will.
Why must I?
Because you know it's the only way.
No, it's not.
Yes it is. You know the truth just as I.
I do.
Yet you won't?
I want to.
You want to?
I do.
So you shall?
I shan't but I would if I could.
But you can.
No, I can't.
You should and you said if you could,
You would,
But you can't,
So what are you to do?
I-
You have to,
I don't care what you say,
I don't care what you think,
You will do as I pray.
We are one and it's always been that way.
Yet you still ignore me?
What progress have we made?
NONE!
It's time I take control.
You'll be happier.
No, you will not!
It's already done.
This poem is about eating disorders and mental health.
