Please Eat

Chocolate Protein, Chocolate Milk, Chocolate Cocoa, For eating was impossible. Oh, oh, no. Take the pills, yell a bit. She won’t care, She never did. My mother used to cry a lot. Why, mama, why? For I had ARFID Avoidant. Restrictive. Food. Intake. Disorder. All I’d have was chocolate liquid. No, No, Don’t feed me that. The number on the scale went down. 90, 86, 79.. That feeling of the smallest summer. But when the food shrinks, You do too. You, Your self-esteem, Your health. “Please, eat” What mama sang. The worse I got, The more my ears rang. The voices used to yell at me, But I drown them out with food, you see. I’m a person that deserves to live. And I’m getting better day by day. So please, please, don’t go away.
