In the shadows of my mind

A battle rages deep

Anorexia's icy grip

A secret that I keep

Lost in a whirlwind of despair

Consumed by self-hate

I watch the numbers on the scale

My heart filled with weight

Each pound shed a victory

Or so it seems to be

A false sense of control,

Yet starved of peace within

A prisoner of my own mind

Trapped in a cycle of sin

Depression clouds my days

A heavy burden to bear

The emptiness inside me

A constant gnawing scare

Yearning to be in shape

To feel lighter and free

But the price I pay is steep 

A soul lost a sea

I long for a way out

A path to break the chain

To find solace in self-love

To ease this endless pain

For in the darkness of my struggle 

A glimmer of hope I wish I could see

A light that I wish could whisper to me

"You are worthy, you are free."
