Description
She reached out her handHer fingers merely bones
This composed, frail girl
Couldn't weigh more than 5 stones
"I'm Ana," she said with a smile
"Ana Rexia is my full name.
I'll gladly answer all your questions
But I really am quite plain"
"Well, Ana, tell me about yourself;
Habits, hobbies, routines.
Then we'll get to the questions
Such as why you prey on teens."
"I no longer limit myself to teenagers
Ask anyone in sight
Gracious thanks to the media
Even children experience emotional blight.
My habits are compulsions
Ones you cannot break
And once you get acquainted
They're quite impossible to shake
Math has always been a hobby,
You know, counting calories and all
I also like my thoughts in writing
Though most journals look like scrawl"
"Okay, let's start the questions simply,"
A devious look passed through her eye
"What talents do you have?"
"Well I'm told that I'm quite sly.
You know, warping body images
And making every mirror fun.
Befriending every victim
Making them think that they had won."
"Do you realize you're a criminal?
You often steal lives."
"They're just begging me to take them,
It's a game almost nobody survives.
I'm another personality
The one they can't control
At first they believe they can
But honestly, I make them whole."
The interviewer sighed and touched his temple
"You can't expect me to believe
That you think you're helping girls
When they hide food up their sleeve"
"Let's not be sexist now,
I also befriend boys…
But then again
All humans are my toys.
Easy access to their mind
I'm the evil twin
I'm saving them from gluttony
Eating is a sin."
"Very well then,
Tell me about your relationships,
Has anybody ever kissed
Your tainted lips?
"I guess you could say
Me and Mr. Limia have a fling
But he cheats on me with Purging
That atrocious adulterous thing"
"How does this all make you feel?"
He's writing all that he retained
"Do you really expect an answer?
Your intentions are quite feigned"
The interviewer scribbles on a note pad
And the ballpoint pen writes with a groan
Her name is Ana Rexia
And all she touches turns to bone

Well, for me, the whole poem seemed to be a parody of anorexia, the name suggested it too, and such stuff, like: "Math has always been a hobby,
You know, counting calories and all", or ""What talents do you have?"
"Well I'm told that I'm quite sly.
You know, warping body images
And making every mirror fun." Obviously seemed a joke

One quick typo:
"They're just beg me to take them,
It's a game almost nobody survives.
THEY just beg me to take them,
-
Easy access to their mind
I'm the evil twin
I'm saving them from gluttony
Eating is a sin."
This stanza was AWESOME, what an interesting irony!
I loved the last stanza too, it was a great overview. I know I've compared you to Dr Suess before, but the way you can get coherent conversations to rhyme beautifully is an art form! Good job!
