Feast Of Feelings
January 8, 2026
TW: eating disorder
Happy Birthday rings through the air
Happy and cheerful
Smile
Plastered on my face
But while others see cake
I see calories.
Candles blown out,
My only wish:
“I just wanna be skinny”
Fluffy,
They call me-
But I am not a hamster.
Excuse after excuse
Not to eat.
Cake locked away
In the fridge;
Only I have the key.
In a blink of an eye,
It was all a daze.
Fist by fist,
I eat my feelings away.
Happiness doesn't last forever.
Guilt consumes me
Like a fire devouring dry leaves-
Relentless and unforgiving.

My whole life i have been bullied for my apperance and it really affected me. Eventually i developed a Binge Eating Disorder and it led me to gain even more weight so i wrote a poem about that and those struggles.
