Prenote: Just to clear this up, this poem is about "Ana." Ana is another name for anorexia. Oftentimes, anorexia is referred to as this person who's named Ana. That is who I am talking about in this poem. Ana is a beast who plagues many lives all over the world, whispering things into the ears of people who suffer from eating disorders telling he or she what a failure they are. And why they shouldn't eat. I hope you all enjoy this poem, and I hope this clears up any confusion.


She made you look at her again
She's back this time to stay,
That's when you start to realize
She never went away.

She doesn't care how tired you are
of hearing all your flaws,
She makes you see what isn't there
And tricks you more and more.

Her cage is never small enough
The routine never tough enough,
She'll let you think you've won the game
Then she'll change the rules again.

If you think you've got the strength
to try and outsmart her,
She's cunning, quick and clever
And she's played this game before.

She's angry now - you lied to her!
and her tone of voice has changed.
She looks you in the eye and screams,
"You'll never win this game!"
