& it still is...
this is my story
...not a human experience absolute
but it was never about food
or appetite...or lack thereof
it's imperative you understand
no...
it was much more than that
a desperate need for the one damn thing
sorely lacking in my life
something stolen before I knew it was needed
...or that it even existed
an elusive slippery kind of concept
information...without proof
& I could not comprehend...
...something I'd never had
so I created my own version
refusing to eat what I was...

The hardest part
is that on some nights
I still hear that
lamb crying out,
finding myself falling
asleep with bones
protruding inside
of my throat
as innocence
buries itself into
my endless pit
for a stomach
before jowls
salivate in mercy
praying for empty
baptisms inside
a white-font,
I guess it isn't
in the stopping
it's learning
to live with
that lamb,
soothing
every time
it needs to
call out.

I hate you
I’ve said it so many times, I think some days I might lose count.
I hate the way you make me feel, and I hate how empty I become when I eat.
I hate all the trouble you’ve caused me, and I hate when you used to slither your way up my throat in the midst of the night, hidden behind running steam showers and war cry Metallica playlists.
I hate that I have to consume you in the first place, and I hate you even more when I realize that my dinner is above a thousand calories.
I hate what you’ve turned me into, because I was never this bad in the first...

N/A
to each their own mission;
through human condition;
most want a million dollars;
I want a meal, and you;
just living in another land;
nothing "other than" comes true;
most want forty arcres and a mule;
one no longer wants to be an overused tool....
staring down one's reflection in a pool;
one just wants the spoon, when the chilly arrives;
the only thing that seems real....
...

Staying Healthy While Managing My Perfectionism
I haven't talked about this in a while. Honestly, it's always in the back of my mind.
As someone like me who's not going to live as long as someone without trauma, mental health issues, and so on, I'm honestly obsessed with my health. I have an orthorexia type brain. Can't say anything about anorexia because I don't starve myself at all yet I do have an obsession with thinness.
Naturally, when I eat a piece of cake (when I never do otherwise) or brownies at times or french toast, I feel that pang of guilt and shame. And it is intense.
I was bullied by a fat...
