Poems About Eating Disorders by Top Critiquers

Thirty five+ years
of fighting an ED

Called bulimia

is far from easy
'cause healing
is not linear it's

setbacks falling
down & crawling
back up starting

over at point 0

the holistic work
i am doing with S
causes changes

slowly over time

going to the gym
and working out is
a mood boost yet

still didn't suffice

added microdoses
Truffles to the mix

it certainly asks for
some heavy artillery

this fucking ED of mine

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...
