This is not based on my experiences or anyone that I know. It is merely what I think battling anorexia, a personified disease, would be like.

Hello, Mom. I'm home!

I brought my friend

Her name is Ana

Have you met her before?

Ana's a beauty

With her porcelain skin

Her rose-colored lips

That twist into a saucy little smile

She's perfect, she's lovely

And I love her to death

She's my pal, my friend, my buddy

She even sits with me at lunch

But sometimes I don't like it

She's not always nice during lunch

She tells me that I'm too fat

Not perfect enough, can't get a boyfriend

Ana hates it when I eat

I try not to because I always want to please her

But I have to eat sometimes

I don't want to pass out

Mom, can you do me a favor?

Tell Ana we can't be friends anymore
