Ever since I started making food
The stomach had no say
Only the brain could talk
The brain, always hungry to silence
Unfiltered barks of a black dog
The body hypnotized by the mind
The stomach stretched to breaking
1000 → 2000 → 3000 → 4000 calories more
the brain, always winning
In monotonous cycles
Today was different
I opened the fridge
While hearing the whines
Of a creature that resides
Deeply ingrained in my mind
All of a sudden
My stomach spoke
Over the howling of my thoughts
For the first time
My body listened to my stomach
Closed the fridge
Walked away
Food is terrifying for me
But I have control
For my first time
For that, I am proud
