Acidic and acrid
Burning throat
Hot, sharp, sour
Take a sip of water
With every bite you take
Makes it easier (I told you this before)
Are you empty yet?
Come on!
Eradicate, extirpate, expel (Like I’ve made you do so many times)
It’s biting, stinging, caustic
But it’s the price you have to pay
Your punishment
A necessary discipline
To be sure you understand the consequences
This is what happens when you disobey me,
Deceive me, betray me
Again and again! (Can’t you see? I’m trying to help you. Just trust me. I’m all you’ve got)
There now, you’re all done
Come on, straighten up
Wash your face (Brush your teeth.. here, have a breath mint just in case)
Turn off the water, smile!
It’s over.. you’re okay.. one step closer to skinny
Oh God, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
But if you want to be perfect
If you want a taste of thin
You better do what I say
You need me to make your fat cry
