Gone

Pick up a crumb

And stare at a slice

I can’t help but think

These can make you feel nice.

 

I’m forced to succumb

And it stings like ice

I dread to think

That this is my life.

 

Even just a thought

Of what it could do

It makes me feel guilty

And full of disgust too.

 

This can end in distraught

And everything it can do

Seemingly is only to be

Thin for everyone

Thin for you.

 

In fact it’s a habit

Now it’s my daily routine

Now I want to hide it away

Nowhere to be seen.

 

I want it rid of

I want it gone

Even if it kills me

But if I die

I’ll be done.
