MY MOST SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP
IS DEFINITELY WITH FOOD
CHOCOLATE, CUPCAKE, COKE, CHIP
HELPS ME WITH MY EVERCHANGING MOOD
I EAT WHEN I AM HUNGRY
I EAT WHEN I AM SAD
I EAT WHEN I AM ANGRY
I EAT WHEN I AM GLAD
FOOD IS MY BEST FRIEND
THE THING THAT KEEPS ME TOGETHER
KEEPS ME GOING AT WIT’S END
KEEPS ME GOING WHEN I AM THE END OF MY TETHER
IT SEDATES ME AND NUMBS THE PAIN
AND YOU SAY I MUST GIVE IT UP?
FOR WHAT GAIN?
FOR MY HEALTH AND MY SANITY
FOR MY FAMILY AND LONGETIVITY
FOR COMFORT AND VITALITY
MAKE MYSELF STRONG FOR ANY EVENTUALTIY
SO I BUY THE FOOD
AFTER I MADE THE PLAN
I GET THE SUPPORT
I DO WHAT I CAN
UNTIL...
ONE HARSH WORD
ONE TOO TIRING DAY
ONE DEMAND TOO MANY
ONE DAMN ADVERT
AND GOOD INTENTIONS FLEE
PROMISES TO SELF ARE BROKEN
I YEARN TO BE FREE
LONGINGS LONG AWOKEN
THIS IS BIGGER THAN ME
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
I CAN NOT BE FREE
SO SETTLE IN THE ROT

welcome to allpoetry
There are those who are (unintentionally) taught that food is comfort.
This does provide and inside look for those who do not understand, really know what it can be like.
A good poem to make one think.

Well
I love food, and I'm grateful for food. Who could do without it? But, like many relationships, it can border on the dangerous. It was so interesting to get an insight into your feelings. Food can be good and bad. And yeah, those adverts do make a girl wanna do some bad things. Anyway, I don't think it's bigger than you. It's your life and you can define yourself and take control.
