Leaving Ana

Leaving Ana

Snarls wrap around me

Tentacles clutching for the kill

I struggle to free myself

The more I try to escape,

The more Ana will not let me go.

Smooth, concave stomachs

The jutting of hip bones

Breasts of a young girl

Empty doll eyes staring at nothing

The promise of perfection

Ah, but the price!

Starve yourself

Deny your hunger

I am beyond mere human needs

Ana says

I am becoming a higher being

And no one else really understands, right?

Increasing blackness

The feeling of lightness

Means progress

Friends fade

Family becomes nothing

Dreams are just wispy puffs

Ana

Is all I need

Ana feeds me,

I live on air

As the pain grows

The first cut is the deepest,

And Ana cackles in the background

Trying to extract myself,

I enter a horror-house maze with no exit

The snarls choking me,

At every turn

Ana is a very jealous lover,

You see

The fight has begun

Anger begins to turn outward,

I slash out at the tentacles,

Cutting deep into the lies

Desperate not to drown in Ana

Forever

Piece by piece,

I am freeing myself

Untangling the web

Drowning out Ana’s voice saying

That I am nothing without her

Ana is winning the battles

But in the end, I shall

Win the war
