Food is not the answer You cannot eat your problems away They just grow As do you Pain is all that you know Why do you cause this? Do you know? It all comes from inside Throw it up The pain will go with the food Don't worry It only burns for a while Stop thinking that way It's just more pain Can you handle it? You think you can But the taste The sour taste it leaves After you're heaved your life away Don't over eat But don't under eat Either way you'll gain Problems mounting with each breath Death Of course, That's it! The answer No, It can't be But the insomnia swells Your heart yells for an end "Please! Please! make it stop!" You poor little girl You're just a child growing But it's never showing The pain and strain life wears on you The gears in your mind Turning and churning Stopping to rust Just to be revived Don't ask Don't tell What they don't know Can't hurt them But, it can hurt you So, stand and scream Don't bear this burden any longer At the top of your lungs ask: "WHAT'S THE ANSWER?!" Wait for a reply, I doubt you will hear one Waiting, for the answer You'll die1-7-01, Written February 25th, 2002 © on Feb 25 2002 10:28 AM PST, Bridget   0 • 1
