all i did was eat
until
i met someone
someone new and exciting
this friend taught me how to eat and eat but not gain weight in the process
as i sit at the dinner table picking at my food or make excuses for why i have just a fruit bar at school, bulimia nervosa watches me from behind, whispering the ingredients in what i eat and how utterly fat i'm going to look if i don't stick my fingers down my throat and hurl it all up in the school bathrooms or leave the table to go the the bathroom and purge while i leave my family siting laughing and smiling behind me.
