The Never-Ending Game
There is this little game I play.
I play this game almost every day.
I do not play alone, this game.
ED plays with me, yes that’s his name.
To eat, or not to eat:
That is the question.
I wake up in the morning: Breakfast.
Do I eat, or don’t I?
I skip…
One step backwards.
Twists and turns and ups and downs.
This game continues, maybe I’ll turn around.
Lunchtime arrives, oh how I despise.
To eat, or not to eat:
That is the question.
I eat… Then I get anxious.
I head to the bathroom.
One step forward, one step back.
I drive to my so-called home.
Mom and dad are fighting: I feel so alone.
ED assures me that he’s here to stay.
“Just don’t eat,” he says every day.
Dinner time…
To eat, or not to eat:
That is the question.
I listen to ED and I skip.
I know this game might not be fun to you,
But by playing this game, I feel safe and not alone.
This game is full of uncertainty, but there’s one thing I do know about this game:
It never ends…
