The Beast

An actual English assignment, about a girl with anorexia and a 'voice' in her head that convinces her not eating is beauty, the voice being the Beast.

She is inflicting pain
throughout my body
as she screams
and nags me.
 
I want to
ignore her,
but she is a
vicious infection
that carries no
cure.

She is unstoppable.
Undefeatable.
There is nothing I can do
while she continues to
agonize me.

She weakens me
with her repetitive blows,
making me suffer deeply.

I can't rid myself of this
disease!

She has
taken over my life,
poisoned my mind,
body,
and soul....

This epidemic is
too much for me to
handle!
She won't leave me alone!

Instead, she
sickens me with
vicious words
and cruel punishment.

How do I go about
destroying such a virus
within me
without destroying myself?
