Take a bite.
Chew.
Chew.
Chew.
Swallow.
God, it burns.
Wait 15 minutes.
Drink water.
Only water.
So many rules.
God, it kills.
Close those lips.
Ignore the rumbling.
"I'm not hungry".
Eat only lies.
Lies.
Lies.
Lapse.
Relapse.
1,500
Watch the number fall.
1,000
Dying to be small.

Drops to negative.
Are you proud?
Are you happy?
Are you thin enough yet?
No.
No.
No.
Never enough.
Why bother?
Be sick forever?
What's the appeal?
Why?
Why?
Why?


Take a breath
Take a bite.
Chocolate cake.
Milk.
Fight the fear.
Fight the voices.
Food isn't the enemy.
Grades go up.
Refeeding the brain.
Match scores go up.
Refeeding the body.
Happiness goes up.
Refeeding the soul.
Numbers don't matter.
Gravity can't measure worth.
Scales can't measure potential.
Calories don't mean anything!
Food is a loving family.
Food brings thanksgiving dinner.
Food brings a first date.
Food brings college.
Travel.
Opportunities.
Who lets a corpse on a plane?
Who road trips with a skeleton?
Who makes love to a zombie?
Skinny doesn't always mean happy.
Life.
Life?
Recovery.
Life.
