read the label
sh*t
i did it again
i was doing so well
this past month
and then
yesterday
i woke up late and
missed breakfast
i didn’t even notice
lunch rolled around
but i wanted to
save my money for dinner later
but then i was crying on the curb
with that literal hollow feeling
i hate so much but
can’t seem to stop loving
and everyone was watching
i couldn’t stand
i was so dizzy
i could barely see
and i couldn’t even
eat a chip
because everyone was watching
and today
i opened the fridge for
breakfast
lunch
dinner
nothing even sounded
remotely appetizing
i made so much progress
over the past month
just to wake up this morning
unable to eat a bowl of cereal
without
checking the back of the f*cking box

This poem is about my struggle with an eating disorder that no one in my life really knows about and writing has really just helped me process my feelings and work on healing.
