Food Food Food

I absolutely love food

Or I used too

Now I still want to eat

But I can't

Guilty Eating

 

I love the feeling of having a full stomach

Or I used too

Now I think about that feeling

I want it

But I can't have it

Guilty Eating

 

Guilt Guilt Guilt 

I feel only Guilt

I can't escape it

Outside I feel so happy

Inside I'm screaming

"Feed me" my stomach says

"not right now" my brain says

Guilty eating

 

It's okay I'll just grab a quick meal

better puke it up after though

less pain

more pain

what's the difference

it's pain

guilty eating

The author's comments:

I only right when I feel as though I'm locking to many emotions up and I need a release. On my lunch break I went to a buffet, and at that buffet I felt the immense urge to cry whenever I took a bite. So I went to the bathroom and wrote this later.
