Failures of my life

by Ali Baker Cancer - Not entered

A failure in every way, 
i lose a war every day.
It is a war against myself, only inside me
Where the teams are unfair, not the way it should be.  
The weapons aren't bullets, bombs, or knives, 
They are the pounds that take so many lives.
i cannot stop, i wish I could
I cannot stop, I know I should
But it is so hard, when you're at war
To give up what you've been fighting for.
I cannot suurender, at least not now, 
I cannot surrender, I don't know how.

Reason for writing:

    Reflecting on my struggle with Anorexia Nervosa.
