Struggling with the inner voice.
Ha!
You think you can outsmart me!
I am your mind!

I trick you into eating
or loafing about.
I tell your body what to do,
I control you
and I will have my way with you!

Do you think your friends and family
really love or care about you?
Ha!
Don't make me laugh.

My precious, gullible child,
I am and always will be your only friend.
The only one that matters anyways.
You will be what you are if I can help it;

ugly, fat, and unloved,

but I love you,
yes, I love you,
for now.
