And what she strives she'll get.
You'll be obsessed like her
You'll be addicted, this I'll bet.

She sets an image in your mind
And this you must become,
Pretty soon you'll be weak and frail
Your starvation will be numbed.

Miss Ana wants perfection
And this you must supply.
Because Miss Ana gets what she wants
Even if it means you die.

And I'm sorry, but thats just the way she is,
Miss Ana needs perfection, and this you must give.
So give it to her fast, before she gets too far,

Cause nothing is Perfect
And she won't stop until you are.

This is a very well written write about an often secretive subject. Well done Amanda. I sure hope you don't struggle with this disease....Take Care.

Anyone with or who has an eating disorder would do well to read this, admittingly one poem's not going to change things for them but it might set them on the path to right thinking.
It is such a shame that people will virtually kill themselves in the pursuit of beauty, the song beautiful by christine agullara sprang to mind as i read this.
You have put across a great message, or a warning if you like.
Excellent work.

You've got a lot to say about the theme of perfection, and the more I read about it in your writes, the more I understand your point of view on the situation. Ana is someone I've heard of just recently, and it's really sad to know that people can find reasons to believe in "her." As for the poem specifically, the subject matter wasnt necessarily relatable for me, but that doesnt take away from reading it. You had a lot of strong lines that were made better with your rhymes and you just had so much to say and didn't go off on a rant, because it was all about the same point. It all tied in, and that was a great element. Well done.

i loved the topic, the message, and how you portrayed it. hopefully people would rather be more imperfect in her eyes, than their own.

I really liked it, and i personally know that the poem is pretty much the way everyone talks about Ana.
