Holding hands around
a table
the rim of the toilet seat
Listening to
mommom recite prayer
the voice in my head
Passing
food around the table
on second servings

Eating disorders are often overlooked; I think maybe that’s because they’re difficult to recognize sometimes. Everyone thinks it’s the really skinny people but sometimes your bones can still be broken even if they’re not showing through your skin. This poem is simple – shows how I imagine a lot of people suffering from eating disorders feel. I think the holidays are big stressors for someone suffering from a disorder like bulimia or anorexia.
