Dear Enemy
by Whitney Laree Greenwood Johnson

Dear Enemy

You promised to be my friend, but a false friend you were.
I turned to you for self esteem, you lowered my self esteem. I came to you for comfort, you only caused me torment.
I came to you when I was sad, you didn’t make me happy.
I came to you to help me calm down when I was under stress, the relief was only temporary. I came to you to feel accepted, you made me feel worthless. I came to you to get respect from other people, it made no difference. I tried to throw my burdens on you; you only gave more to carry on my shoulders. I came to you to feel safe, you increased my fear. I came to you for companionship, you made me lonelier. I came to you to fill a void; you made me felt just as empty.

I loved you, cherished you, I fought to keep you. I wouldn’t let others take you away from me. But even when I decided that I wanted you gone. You wouldn’t leave. You tried to hold me in your vice. You still try to force your way into my life.

You will not win oh enemy of mine, I will fight you until the end. Why can’t you hear me I don’t want you anymore?

Good By and Good By Forever.

Who is this enemy? An eating disorder.
