Binge

life’s just a mess control comes less and less so to ice cream and burritos I seek solace

which salsas? which sauce? life’s a coin toss but when it comes to these meals Haha! finally i’m the boss

but sometimes the habit controls the hand and I fill my belly beyond my waistband an all night food party that I seriously hope won’t end

salty then sweet, then savory meat leads to sweet, back to salty with this cycle, there is no replete

my anger builds , fear on the rise shamed of this mouth holding back tears in these eyes

but I won’t cry, I’m just tired and alone; couldn’t purge if I tried which I won’t

don’t you know purging means you’ve got a problem? And problems? I can do without em’

so I hold it all in, till’ the next day

wake in a ball of shame failed at this food n’ life game - unless I do something fast! so I’ll exercise and skip meals: now that’s a good deal! That's how I'll beat this game: starving the belly till' it grumbles my name
