Purge. I purge myself of the fat I girl I was and Hope to be no more Purge. I purge myself of the carbs I just devoured Longing to see a lesser number on a scale. Purge. I purge myself of all the “I would never do that” comments Of a girl with a good head on her shoulders. Purge. I purge myself to be the ideal girl With the hourglass figure. Purge. I purge myself of all the warnings I’ve heard Knowing that I’m destroying my interior Hoping to have the ideal exterior Purge. I purge myself of my meals, But in reality I’m ridding myself of guilt Purge. I purge myself of the fat girl I used to be In hopes of being the girl, the world wants to see. Purge.

Purge. I purge myself of the fat I girl I was and Hope to be no more Purge. I purge myself of the carbs I just devoured Longing to see a lesser number on a scale. Purge. I purge myself of all the “I would never do that” comments Of a girl with a good head on her shoulders. Purge. I purge myself to be the ideal girl With the hourglass figure. Purge. I purge myself of all the warnings I’ve heard Knowing that I’m destroying my interior Hoping to have the ideal exterior Purge. I purge myself of my meals, But in reality I’m ridding myself of guilt Purge. I purge myself of the fat girl I used to be In hopes of being the girl, the world wants to see. Purge.
I wrote this march of 2012 and I just stumbled upon it today. It was a dark time where i really struggled with my identity though I was at my slimmest and throwing up didn't seem like a big deal, but now I see that it was much more than the food and I thank God that I was able to capture those subconscious thoughts and put them on paper and reveal just how destructive those thoughts and actions can be
