TW!!! EATING DISORDER

My mother scowls
My father laughs
My brother cries
My sister sighs

I, myself, just breathe
In through my nose
Out through my mouth
Eyes blinking every so often

Staring blankly at my food
Not eating a single bite
No appetite to indulge
Way too much on my plate

I haven't eaten in days
Never caring much to eat
Always too much food
Almost too much to process

So much that could save lives
All wasted on me
So little that I actually need
So much it seems disgusting

It's been over a week since I last ate
My family not noticing a thing
Not my sad smile, not my frown
Not my rapidly depleting weight

I feel myself going
Just drifting away
The starvation catching up to me
Finally, the sweet release

I set my head down
As if I'm going to sleep
In a way, I am
But this time, I'm not waking up
