Binge and Purge

Gorging with impunity to fill an empty void of hollow needs and guilty deeds that fester unceasing, into fissures of a vacuous soul searching, without finding a way to make it whole Purging with obsession to cleanse a tarnished image Of distorted ideals with unrealistic appeals that flaunt False messages into unsuspecting circuits of the mind Revolving endlessly without stopping to unwind Binging with a ravenous urge to quell the anguish of taunted jeers and unfounded fears of rejection spinning uncontrollably without cause or reason into fragmented notions and confused emotions Repelling with compulsion to assuage the shame Of inaccessible goals and lost controls that mock Incessantly with bitterness that burns the wounds within Disgorging undigested pieces of a broken whole

Hi June and thank you so much for your comment on this poem and for your compassion as well. This poem is not about myself personally, as I do not have any eating disorders. I do however have several friends that do. I am amazed that I managed to write this so convincingly, that you believed I was writing about myself. This is indeed a huge compliment!! Love and blessings Marilyn
