The taste of putrid bile, It burns, It's vile, I lose all smiles. Knots wrap around within. Inwards purging Themselves. Pulling & tugging, demanding A way out. As claustrophobic As a restricted heart Sinking in my stomach, That gurgles. The waves washing Around the anchor, Dead (weight) in A cast out sea Of polluted waters. But don't you see, That the ghost In me, Is only found in This very sea. Bile; Bitter, putrid, vile, Choking on A body retching, An empty soul. Unnurtured, wasted It wants out of, Me. A heart Beating; blistering red. A raw throat, A choke A cough A very solitary single Tear Drop. And so, my saving grace Is what feels like An ocean of pain, Within me, That has yet to pour out, Thus not drowning Me, At sea. © Sia Jane

All Smiles

This is about the impact, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically, of anxiety that is manifesting itself right now. Not about an eating disorder.
