Gorge and Purge
The one thing I can count on is being thin
the world is obese in my eyes with their sugar coating
sticking to their bellies like glue
the idea of being fat makes me gag
as I scarf another bag of chips
a handful of candy I can feel the lbs. climbing
but I have a faithful friend one I can count on
my trusty toothbrush and my vomit bag
I have containers of food I've unloaded stashed in my closet
I don't want to be caught though my hair is falling out in clumps
and my teeth and gums are bleeding from the stomach bile i'm pouring
when I look in the mirror it's pure perfection I see
a tight and thin waist a curvy not flabby ass
as I stuff myself again gorging and purging
anything to keep my skeletal figure
fat I hate you!!!
you make me sick downing my milkshake
gag, vomit aren't I slick
(entered in Gg's can you truly write anything comp.)

The line of understanding how to state this so succinctly is as narrow and sharp as the power to unmask it. Stating then the facts of the case, a description, nothing more or less. It defies recovery and can merely be watched through thick glass. Any example or suggestion comes off as trite and minimizing. Pity is a sleeper. Judgment is wasted and futile, counter productive. Here it is. Indomitable. .....aren't I slick...this is the question to unfold.

I guess I felt like I was getting a way with something when I was doing it but it's true at the time I didn't see the damage I was doing and I didn't do a very good job of describing the pain and shame I felt at the time.. thank you RT for an insightful comment.. peace Crim

I do feel that shame here, also a deep sense of sadness. Having struggled with an eating disorder, your words resonate deeply.

Excellent portrayal of the anorexic
Should be reading material for many
women. Anorexia has spread to older women and even to men. Unless there is a major famine in North America....this will go on.
Good work
With admiration

Nice writing, I love reflective honesty like this... I know there are very many people, both men and women, who can relate to this...wonderful portrayal of this reality, the obsession of being thin and the self-loathing and shame that come with gorging and purging...nice poem
