I eat as much as I can
My mother looks proud
Tears glistening in her eyes
She is happy again
I hope.
But I'm not even half way there
When a feeling overcomes me
And I rush to the bathroom
Crying
Crying.
I can't hold it in
It's got to go out
I throw up
Crying
Can't.
I'm not strong enough
I haven't conquered it
It's back
Again
My mother's face changes
When I get out
But she comforts me
She says give it time
Slowly.
I want to eat now
I want to be normal
I want to be back what I was like
A long time ago
Bring me back.
But mother says wait
My stomach is still accustomed
To little portions of food
Slowly I'll get there
Impatient.
