I eat when I'm depressed I'm depressed a lot I eat when I'm anxious I'm anxious a lot I eat a lot The new stretch marks on the corner of where my arm meets my shoulder scream "THIS BODY CONSUMES A LOT OF FOOD" And I hate myself for it And I want to hide And that's cliche But the feeling of worthlessness only comes from misogynistic beauty standards being shoved down my throat from since I was little But my brain doesn't care where that feeling comes from My brain tells me to eat or to throw up after I eat or to run because I ate too much and then eat some more I would probably die from shock if I told myself I was beautiful And, since I don't want to die right now I'll just eat and hate myself for it

EAT
I eat when I'm depressed I'm depressed a lot I eat when I'm anxious I'm anxious a lot I eat a lot The new stretch marks on the corner of where my arm meets my shoulder scream "THIS BODY CONSUMES A LOT OF FOOD" And I hate myself for it And I want to hide And that's cliche But the feeling of worthlessness only comes from misogynistic beauty standards being shoved down my throat from since I was little But my brain doesn't care where that feeling comes from My brain tells me to eat or to throw up after I eat or to run because I ate too much and then eat some more I would probably die from shock if I told myself I was beautiful And, since I don't want to die right now I'll just eat and hate myself for it
