She stood on the scale
afraid to look at the number
this was a daily occurrence
she was always unhappy with what she saw
she never ate
she would just throw it back up
she knew what she was doing was wrong
but she couldn't help it
it was like her drug
she was addicted
addicted to the pain
addicted to how it made her feel
addicted to seeing her self like this
addiction is never a good thing
but it's a hard thing to overcome
she knew she would never overcome this
but she was ok with it
because she liked the pain
in her mind
pain was her drug
