The Fork

food isn’t seen as fuel and nourishment, food is seen as guilt and shame your bones wear thin and your hair falls out in clumps you see your ribs when you lift up your shirt and you feel your hipbones stick out whenever your boney fingers are placed on them. your throat is sore from the acid and the vomit flowing through you your family know they should hide away the knifes and the blades but what’s worse is that they’re scared you’re hurting so badly you might even harm yourself with a fork but isn’t that what you’ve been doing all along? you put down the fork... and haven’t picked it up since -unKnown Person
