I know that I put song lyrics in here last week but I couldn't help doing it again. While reading "Life Size" the only way that I could participate in it was by remembering an article I read about Daniel Johns, the lead singer of Silverchair. He battled anorexia and wrote the song "Ana's Song" about this battle:
Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires what I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires what I need from you
And your my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an anorexia life
Open fire on the need designed on my knees for you....
Open fire on my knees desires what I need from you
Open fire on my needs designed
Oh, and
Open fire on the needs designed on my knees for you

Why I find this important is because here is a man that is successful in societal terms, and yet he was still fighting the battle of control, which he found the only thing he could control was food. I wish that I could say that I didn't fight for control, but I think we all do and I know that some of the things that I have deemed as control aren't the healthiest things for my body. It's frightening to think though that sometimes the one thing you are trying to control starts to actually control you.
