eating (R.I.P.)

this non-hunger eats,
drains the insides while pouring
putrid thoughts, hollow, though pipelines.
consuming, it wears away and ingests sunlight,
hoping to rid itself of a few empty calories and
replace them with baggy clothes.
it tears, shattering droplets 'round porcelain,
and tries to fill itself with
blank plates and empty spoons.


if only it would leave well enough alone,
and let the mind fill itself with something other than fragile purification.
but its grasping fingertips dig in,
sharpened and ready, to
grasp, scratch, and R.I.P.

    I have never read anything on this subject as well written as this. I suppose we take eating for granted and the plight of others as merely a choice, I see it differently now, thanks for that
    best wishes
    Peace Muddy

    it's something that takes seconds to read, but is so entertaining and such, that one can not help to read over and over. It's good, and quite grotesque [perhaps that is why i like it so much].

      it's more about eating disorders in general, not necessarily bulimia, but you got the idea :]

      thanks so much
