At the start
So young and carefree
In youth
Slowly a poison
Trickling down into the stream
We guzzled and guzzled like deer in the wild unaware of the danger that awaits
We picked the flowers minding their own
Playing god with their lives in our hands
And for that we're to be punished
Punished for our sins
We had bad thoughts and dreams and nightmares
But somehow we were safe
Until the day she pulled us into her skeletal embrace
I took her words like scripture
Like bittersweet poetry
And from then she shouted the gospel
Until my ears would bleed
She helped me hide my secrets
She opened for me new doors
She convinced me those around me were wrong and I was forever hers
It started with a diet
To bring be purity
Detoxify my body
And grant me beauty
She helped me lie to my family
She helped me lose my life
Whatever person I could've been is unknown at this point
Because skinny equals happy
Skinny is everything
And it wasn't until I was too deep in I realized she was killing me
