Empty Spoon

Empty Spoon

A Poem by MandaBear
"

I was inspired to write this after Lily Mae's poem Anorexic thoughts from a Bulimic heart. I hope you like mine :)

"
Been sitting in this corner for some time now,
I don't have the will power to get out. 
I am running, running away so very fast,
Trying to get away from this hungry feeling.

I am like an empty spoon;
The more and more I try to eat, 
The less and less goes in my mouth.
I feel so fat inside.

What can I do?

I look in the mirror and see fat, 
Just another layer of blubbery.
I am never going to be a Kate moss, 
I'm never going to be Miss America. 

I am an empty spoon.
Nothing goes in 
Everything come out 
I am so fat inside 

I'm a full time overdose 
There are days I refuse to eat
Days I need to binge
While I watch my body unhinge 
 
Don't you worry
I'll be skinny soon enough
But, your eyes still cry for me
And your lips still frown

"No more food will go down"
Says my stomach 
In revolt with me throat 
As my soul begins to float 

I am an empty spoon 
I am so fat inside
