Poison


Food isn't food 

Food is calories 

Food is my fat on my bones 

Food is poison 

No one gets it do they? 

They are addicted to a killer 

Food only makes ugly 

Eat it if you wish a bad body 

I'm down to 83 pounds 

I have no poison in me 

Or at least that's what the old me thought 

The new me is in a hospital 

I almost died by not eating the poison

So maybe just maybe

The poison

Was me
