eat eat eat.
i force bite after bite.

to see me eat, isn’t that a sight?

after i eat, i ruin the toilet’s white.
against my fingers, my throat shall fight.

purge purge purge.
that constant urge.

to never be heavy, and always be light.

I also wrote a poem about an eating disorder. This is a very touching poem, very well written.
