E.D.

Have you ever had a friend you thought was close to your heart? So close that it seemed like you could never part? A friend that could comfort, and make all the pain go away? And people who love you think it's bad and don't want it to stay? Have you had a friend that keeps you up at night? A friend that soon became an enemy that you constantly have to fight? An enemy that takes up every single part of your life? An enemy who makes you feel like you will always deal with this strife? Have you ever had that being that makes you feel alone? A being that takes you away while your screaming to go home? Have you ever had this demon watch every move you make? And makes you feel like you have to be perfect and can't make a mistake? Has this voice been in your head? Telling you you'd be better off dead? Has this obsession kept you always in it's sight? And is so much in your head you can't tell wrong from right? Has the voice inside tell you to skip a meal? Does it whisper that exercise is the only way to heal? Has it told you you're fat, ugly, and will never be good enough? Have the people told you that recovery will be rough? Have you ever thought you had a friend, that easily became bad? Did that friend make your ungrateful for everything you had? Did it get sobad that you always end up crying? And even when try to be good, you always end up lying? And finally when you thought you were done, did it all get worse? Did you try to pick up the pieces from the horrible curse? And then you fought the battle that you hoped would never come. The battle that made you scared and made want to run. The people made you sit, they made you eat, they wanted you to win. They wanted you to be free from the wanting to be thin. And now you are so close to winning this stupid fight. And you can almost tell what's wrong and what's right. When that friend that you had comes into your thoughts, remember that battle that was so hard, so long, that you have already fought...
