I joke about locking up the fridge and the pantry Camera in the kitchen, how dare you eat when you are hungry? The fridge is full of slim, fast drinks I'm eight years old, I need to eat But I drink them all throughout the week A walking sponge Go inside your nightstand drawer, I'm looking for a cough drop Find my baby pictures next to pills you take for weight loss Apples falling from the tree Hope you don't rub off on me Watch you cut your calories and I soak it up When I look down, I can't see the bottom It's an endless pit filled with all of your problems Superfoods, raw vegetables, and apples I'm falling as far as I can I'm falling as far as I can Freshman year, the both of you are intermittent fasting Celery juice for breakfast, I'm smaller, thanks for asking Sixteen and recovery, you have to hide the scale from me You're trying so hard to help me, but the roots run deep Mmm When I look down, I can't see the bottom It's an endless pit filled with all of your problems Superfoods, raw vegetables, and apples I'm falling as far as I can But when I look out, I can't see the finish line It's an endless road filled with mountains I can't climb Ketosis, kale chips, liquid diet I'm running as fast as I can I'm falling as far as I can Looking back, I'm so relieved all this didn't kill me It's far from perfect, but I think there's actually been healing My sister's seventeen right now, she's confident she loves herself We're on the other side somehow And when I look up, I see all the progress I see my mom eating more and caring less Therapists, resilience, replanting We're doing the best that we can I'm doing the best that I can
