bulimia

the words spiral out of me

the tears slide down my cheek

the purging, it has to cease

my addiction, why can't I be

normal like the rest

my life put to the test

why can't i be the best?!

now stop.

spiraling, spiraling

crying, purging.

on my knees-

this has to cease-

why can't i be...

normal.
