Ravaged

To the monster inside of me

My body feels ravaged.
Thinking of food never crossed my mind.
I was too busy taking care of the million things.
I had to do before thinking about eating.
No-one stopped me, no one...

I started going to bed hungry.
I thought I wouldn't be alive the next morning.
I had enough to get myself the things I needed,
but I felt I never had enough money to buy essentials.

I couldn't stop, my mind racing, my heart beating faster.
I felt like running, running from nothing but the air.
The fire of my heart slowly dying, fading...
The man with the heart of fire losing the battle in his mind.

Is this real... or not?
I couldn't wrap my mind around everything.
Why did this happen to me?
I didn't want to be thinner or anything.
I wanted to be me...
The me I knew a while back...
The me that knew he could fight the impossible.

He is there inside of me, and he is going to beat this monster.
The monster that beat me down...
Telling me I can't fight, telling me I won't win...

I will fight because my life is worth living.
Hungry no more says the new me...
Hungry no more!
Hungry no more...

I'm free from my cage that monster put me in.
I'm free to sing a beautiful song that makes people go silent.
Listen to the tune of freedom...
Listen...
Just listen to the song of strength I sing...
And you, too, can be free like me.
