Milk and Cookies

TW: Eating disorders and food-related content

Milk and Cookies,

One glass, two,

Eat the pack 

Until they’re through.

Feel the guilt,

Breathe it in

Tell yourself

Feeling full’s a sin. 

 

Find a mirror

Wince and moan

Try to believe

You’re not alone.

Hate yourself

A little more,

Feel this hatred

In your core.

 

Take ten photos

Delete fifteen

Try again

Until it’s routine.

What’s for dinner?

Sleep again.

Pour your disgust

Down the drain.

 

Paint your face,

Style your hair,

Change yourself

Until you’re not there.
