Ana Said - Ed

Ana said I could be thin

Ana promised I would win

Ana said the price was small

I really liked all that I saw

She made the scale a friend

Someone I'd not leave in the end

And food made me appalled

Always coming when she called

No one held me when I cried

It didn't matter if I died

The best was not enough

The strongest was not tough

Ana told me I was fat

There was too much shame in that

Ana said she'd make perfection

That I was a great selection

Ana never said to me

Just how hard that this would be

She promised to fix every flaw

And never spoke of "hospital"

So as I lay me down to sleep

Ana took my soul to keep

And I ask my road is small

So many others will not fall

It is my life

That Ana takes

I know from sleep

I'll never wake
