D's Poetry
about the writing
process in here
& how it goes
it usually starts
with music a pic
and concept or
favorite quote
words on paper
left to simmer for
a couple of days
at times weeks
adding pieces &
deleting bits next
is over and over
finetuning lines
it's a nightmare
a perfectionist to
the core the bar
is set high and
the control freak
doesn't make any
concessions to the
content, format & flow

Thirty Five
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

Control Me
the fight is tiring
and drives me
to despair the
demon inside
is hard to beat
build it from my
own DNA & let
it become much
stronger than me
would you please
tame the demon
guide me home
strip me bare &
make me wear
my vulnerability
breathe life into
this weary body
bring back to life
my fragile frame
erase the shame
please take me to
your blissful space
enslave me & break

Whiplash
Up,
Down,
Hot,
Cold,
Hell yes,
Fuck no.
I can’t keep up.
Shit is going fast.
Some time it’s real good,
others it’s real bad.
Holding onto my spinning head,
I think I’m giving myself whiplash.
I need some water,
and maybe several seats.
I can’t eat,
I can’t think,
hell, I can’t even sleep.
My mind is going ninety— to nothing.
I’m gonna crash and burn.
Yet, like a moth to a flame..
Here I am again. You’d think I’d have learned.
Fuck yes
Hell no
Down
Up...

The Torture
the pain is truly
excruciating the
cramp hard to
carry, i do it
myself, take
30+ laxatives
Hurt myself
to get rid of
the crap i ate
for some days
insane to think
i'm so tender to
others and yet
Harm myself
fucked up that
i'm a bit skinny
& want to lose
as many kilos
as is humanely
possible, to take
up little to no space
excruciating the
cramp hard to

30+ laxatives
Hurt myself

How
How can I keep living when I feel like I don’t belong?
How can I survive when I can no longer be strong?
How can I have hope when it’s been taken away?
How can I fight when I don’t wish to stay?
How can I smile when I just need to cry?
So many questions, so many whys.
I’m no longer at home in myself anymore,
Every day I wake up lost I’ll never find who I was before,
I am a stranger in my own mind, lost with no direction,
Trying to find a part of my self with no navigation,
Impossible right?
Fills me with fright.
This...

Damn You
2 weeks of bliss
and then it came
back to bite me
the urge to eat
zone out and for
a while not feel
Damn you ED
the aftermath is
often the worst
KO on my sofa
all i feel is guilt
disgust, shame
a failure of a girl
knowing i have to
do this all over the
cleansing fasting
and press repeat
i am freaking tired
of this infinite Cycle
afraid it will never stop
and then it came
back to bite me
the urge to eat
zone out and for
a while not feel
Damn you ED
the aftermath is
often the worst
KO on my sofa

disgust, shame
a failure of a girl
knowing i have to

Disorder
an ED is an
adaptable
disorder it
Truly fits in
many boxes
it's a flight
addiction
obsession
and a curse
i'm trying to
restore my
relationship
with food via
photography
capturing my
self with fruits
and veggies
create poetry
with my ED in
the lead role
use food as
a verb & play
with the words
using my curse
as a step to cure
adaptable
disorder it
Truly fits in
many boxes
it's a flight
addiction
obsession
and a curse
i'm trying to
restore my
relationship
with food via
photography
capturing my
self with fruits
and veggies
create poetry
with my ED in
the lead role
use food as
a verb & play
with the words
using my curse

She is Me
she didn't leave
or fade away
she stayed
she's not
my identity
yet part of
the package
called Dee
she's my
morphine
cocaine
special k
pain killer
& void filler
the mistress
slowly she
chokes the
life out of me
killing me softly
please, set me free
or fade away
she stayed
she's not
my identity
yet part of
the package
called Dee
she's my
morphine
cocaine
special k
pain killer
& void filler
the mistress
slowly she
chokes the
life out of me
killing me softly
please, set me free

Once They Told Me
Once they told me long ago
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...

Scrupulosity
There’s a winged preacher on my shoulder,
But I can’t tell if it’s an angel or obsession.
It seems the harder I try to listen,
The more I start to question.
The harder I try to fight,
The further that I fall.
If I’m not trying to be perfect,
Am I trying at all?
And am I trying too hard,
Or not trying enough?
Is it an intrusive thought,
Or is it calling out a bluff?
I know I’m supposed to be happy,
But I only feel safe in the hurt.
If I’m...
But I can’t tell if it’s an angel or obsession.
It seems the harder I try to listen,
The more I start to question.
The harder I try to fight,
The further that I fall.
If I’m not trying to be perfect,
Am I trying at all?
And am I trying too hard,
Or not trying enough?
Is it an intrusive thought,
Or is it calling out a bluff?
I know I’m supposed to be happy,
But I only feel safe in the hurt.
