Everyday I cry
Because of the person I am
Because of the person I'm not
Because of the people who aren't me
Who I want to be like.

Everyday I cry
Because of the things I'm afraid of
The things that have consumed me
My problems have become me
My personality is overwhelmed by them

I am not me anymore
I am a self harming bulimic
A self hating
Low self esteemed
Typical teenage girl

I have no personality anymore
And I'm starting to worry
People are talking
Telling me things
If I don't eat
If I don't stop hating
If I don't stop worrying

But I don't hear them
All I hear is the voices
Circling my head
Consuming my mind
Making it numb
To the world outside

There's nothing I can hear anymore
And the voices are the only thing I have left
The only one who still talks to me
The only one who will never leave me
And the only one I wish would
