Counting calories when I'm bored Analyzing fat Comparing flatness I am the queen of obsession So quickly So easily And then it is too late So I don't let myself think about it constantly I try not to But I do And all my friends say I have the flattest stomach But when I look in the mirror All I can see Is how my thighs are thicker than last year
I have connected pain with reward That if it hurts its healing That if I'm hungry I'll improve The red is rising with no ceiling Keeping low to the ground Not taking off my shirt when I kiss you
Crying with no sound Not letting myself miss you
Processed sugar is a no But I am so cold
All the time.
Pressure This is a part 2 to a poem I posted here last February with the same title. My issues with eating have switched since then, and they are not large issues. But they're there.
