It doesn't matter
How deep the water is if
You're drowning in it
"it's not that deep"
"Not a big deal"
That doesn't matter as long makes you feel like **** it matters and you deserve help

You could be drowning in your bathtub
The sea
A bowl of water
It doesn't matter, you can't breathe and deserve/need help
guilt and shame
eating to blame
lack of control
lack of tame
the food comes in
the fat puffs out
if only cold turkey
didn’t sound so good right now
how to quit that of which you need to live
Last night,
 meant to
loosen
the bulb
I wrapped
my hands
in woven
cloth, and
coaxed the
moon down
instead
It creaked,
blushed,
and fainted
slipped into
my palm,
like a lover.
