Ana and Mia Are My Friends

Location

263
Zimbabwe

Mia whispers that I could be better.

Ana shouts at me to pull it together.

Mia says she wants what is best.

Ana breaks me, my strength she tests.

Mia forces me to make a mess.

Ana pushes until there's nothing left. 

Mia says I'm not enough.

Ana says I'm way too much.

Mia says "It will be okay."

Ana says "No eating today."

Mia wants it to be her way.

Ana wants me to waste away.

Mia wants me stick around.

Ana would rather have me under the ground.

Mia loves me.

Ana loves me.
