Silent Screams

Diet. Diet. Diet.
That’s all you say to me.
Gotta be thin,
Like the people on the TV.

Anorexia. Bulimia.
Get people in such a state.
But those same people just laugh at you,
If you’re overweight.

I know that I should lose weight.
There’s no need to go on to me.
Surely you must be stupid.
So blind that you can’t see.

If you want the truth.
It’s just a fluke.
That I’m too strong.
To binge and puke.

Don’t want no bloody Weightwatchers.
No calorie counts or Slimfasts.
Take away those sodding weigh scales.
Get away with your Muesli repasts.

I’m sick of jibes and insults.
Why can’t you just let me be?
‘Cause I gotta tell you.
Trying to lose weight is seriously eating me.
