Emptiness

Everyone has their insecurities, mine happen to have made me develop an eating disorder. This is my way of sharing my story.

As I observe myself in the mirror
Thoughts about my weight whirlwind in my head
Suddenly all I can see is clearer
My mind is once again filled with dread

My diet commenced with skipping breakfast
I am hungry but finally skinny
I like the emptiness to be honest
Anorexia is bad? That’s just silly

Even starvation can’t satisfy me
My new obsession is purging my meals
It’s not a healthy choice, we can agree
So much work for a body that appeals

Time has passed, I struggle now and then
I wonder, will I ever be okay again?
