This poem is about someone struggling with eating.


I look at the plate and feel a knot in my stomach

I know I should eat but I can't bring myself to do it

I hear the voices in my head telling me I'm not good enough

I see the numbers on the scale and feel a surge of guilt

I want to be healthy but I also want to be thin

I'm trapped in a cycle of starving and binging

I don't know how to break free from this prison

I need help but I'm afraid to ask for it

I feel alone and hopeless in this battle

I wonder if there's a way out of this hell.
