Hunger

Xlayla55x

It feels good
It has always felt good 
I’m not sure when i became so used to it


Unbearable to see it
Even through shower steam
The mirror mocks me day in and day out 


I couldn’t bring myself to buy one 
A scale that is
No matter the number it’ll always feel like too much

 

The ache is familiar 
The vibration welcoming 
The sound of my body eating itself away

 

The fridge and the cabinets
They stare down at me like gods 
Ready to punish me at a moment’s notice 

 

I keep walking
Keep running
Toward an ideal that i know is unattainable 

 

It feels so good
It has always felt this good 
And i feel guilty that i let myself get used to it

    So many implications in this poem, some seductive, others erotic, others wholesome feelings of value while others place value on what others think. A great open ended poem left to the imagination of the reader.
