I support myself

Once again

On to the scales

The scales of my life

The number being the only thing

That matters

That ever will matter

Closing my eyes

I pray that no eating

Since two days ago

Has helped me reach my dreams

I don't look down

In case, I've become fatter

Then I was

Please

Anorexia laughs

In the background

You're fat

She says cruelly

Get skinnier

Skip dinner

I dare to look down

At the white cold scales

At the menacing black number

80

I've done it

I've got here

And I'm going to stay

80? Only?

Anorexia tells

Not good enough

Never good enough

75 then

I'll get there

And keep going
