The weight is dropping faster than I can Pretend to shovel the tasteless waste down my throat At first there was the fear If this persists one day I will dwindle to nothing Followed by the panic and the binging Must. Consume. Calories. Three bites in and that should be enough But the pants continue to fall And the shirts simply hang from the clavicle Eventually I'll fix this mess of a body Only after I fade to nothing
Written during a time the mirror wouldn't have recognized me. I've come a long way and it's time to free these words.
