As I run out the door with no time,

I can’t help but wonder what does an anorexic girl eat for breakfast ?

Do they chew for the taste of the sweet flavor,

Then spit it out to avoid the calorie boost.

Or do they munch on the vast variety of comments on their posts .

Maybe they swallow their breaths as they star their rigorous sit-ups

Turning their spine into the sharp spinning wheel.


But it obvious they don’t eat what an athlete does.

No carbs or protein,

The only food that they'll obtain will be from the chemicalized proteins,

Dripping from the IV as it replenishes they’re suffocating veins.

The thought of reaching for the fork turns there stomach,

As the brain latches on to their hand.

Holding back the one thing they long for the most.


I would know .

The constant struggle of eating again

It’s always”do what you can to fit in“.

Even if that means sacrificing your every meal,

Gnawing on the cold ice cubes to satisfy your mouths hunger.

It’s an ongoing pain,

Hard to break through.
