Anorexic Teen- Hidden Secrets

She hides behind her make up and her baggy clothes
She has a secret, that no one else knows
She stands in her room at night, scared to look in the mirror
She puts her fingers down her throat, saying this won’t be forever.

She sees the girls on TV and wants to be like them.
Being so skinny is treated like a new born trend
That voice in her head keeps telling her what to do
It keeps telling her, that she’s not good enough for you

Nobody knows goes on in her mind
All the thoughts of the poison, that she tried to leave behind
She sits at the table with tears in her eyes
Her parents both know now, and see through her lies

She went to the shops one day, and saw a pretty dress
But she didn’t dare pick it up and avoiding questioning eyes
But that voice in her head told her she was nothing but a mess
She doesn’t know how sick she is, until she almost dies.

A little diet can grow out of hand
And you think all the people around you, won’t understand
But you’re the one who’s suffering, by punishing yourself
There’s no way to explain it, your life and theirs Is stuck in hell

Its her fifteenth birthday and she’s stuck in bed
While people bring cards and gifts and eat vanilla cake
Their biggest fears become reality as she could soon be dead
Why doesn’t someone warn these people, before its too late!
