Just one skipped meal Just one time You tell yourself it's no big deal Just one meal is all it takes You just made a fatal mistake
You run to the bathroom and lock the door Put your hair in a bun and kneel on the floor Turn on the faucet to drown out the sound Hush your crying, there are people around! Act like everything is fine and pretend You swear you'll never do that again
You convince yourself you can stop whenever You're too fat to have an eating disorder But it's become a deadly addiction Only concerned with reaching perfection You know that someday you'll pay the price Each time is just another game of Russian roulette with your life You tell yourself you won't do it anymore But you've said this millions of times before
That's because it's not just a skipped mean It'll never be just one time It's always just another broken promise Until you die
This poem is loosely based off of a poem I see sometimes on Tumblr. I don't know who it's by because I've seen it on multiple websites with different authors but here's one link to it http://www.wittyprofiles.com/q/6607309 I loved this poem a lot and I decided to make my own version about an eating disorder
