Unhealthy Poems

Eating Disorders, Young Boys and Girls

The glass has teeth—
it bites at dawn,
gnawing away what flesh I thought was mine.

A rib is a rung to heaven,
but the ladder never ends.
Numbers bloom red on the bathroom scale,
they hum like insects in the skull.

I am a mannequin—
wire shoulders, hollow eyes,
a smile stitched with needles.

Children bruise themselves
against invisible rulers.
They carve equations into skin:
less, less,

Sweet Venom

I trace every move you make,
I trace every note you breathe.
But you're a Mozart in disguise
How could I ever compete?

Blind with tears and rage,
I compared myself to what seemed bulletproof,
All while my doubts built up inside,
Forming an invisible bruise.

I tried to be more like you
Though I knew it was no use.
I swallowed all your words,
Like

surface

when no one’s watching, i am.
i watch myself
take that extra bite
regret that dessert
body check every mirror
but from the outside
no one sees me
they don’t know me
only i know me
myself
the imperfect image people see so perfectly on the outside

Living While Under The Influence Of Unhealthy Food

Living under the influence of unhealthy food
Is not a topic that has been frequently chewed
Unlike its well-known friend: alcohol abuse
The unhealthy food topic is more a recluse

In the past food talk centered around a diet
And half of the population would no doubt try it
Thinking that their weight is mostly what matters
Followed by comments that hopefully

UNHEALTHY MARRIAGE

UNHEALTHY MARRIAGE 

A wife was a wife indeed,
She has to pay for her deed.
Treating her man like a trash,
Just because he doesn't have cash.

She was thinking of being a better wife,
Not knowing she was hard as knife.
No form of remorse about her attitude,
And she never have the heart of gratitude.

The husband has endure enough,
He was

Unhealthy Air

I’m sitting in unhealthy air;
The sky is filled with haze
From fires up in Canada,
With acres still ablaze.

This morning’s sun was glorious,
An orange-pinkish ball,
Resulting from the smoke but still
Admired and snapped by all.

It’s apropos because today
In 1944
The Normandy invasion
Turned the tide to change the war.

Those soldiers suffered more than just
The quality of air
And fewer people every

Unhealthy Friendship

Unhealthy friendship

Lopsided. I think you would say
The way a taker takes more than a giver can give away
A sad situation, somewhat injust
How someone can take so much that the giver loses trust
Unhinged, unbalanced, the scales tipped too far 
Where the giver wants the taker to raise their bar
I made the hardest decision, you'll see...
It was

Daydreaming

Somedays I feel like crazy,
The world seems unhealthy.
My day seems boring,
And I don't know what to think.
I look out of my window,
To find trees and people I didn't know.

Daydreaming seemed to be my best hobby,
Dreaming of what if I was a barbie.
But then reality seem to slowly confront,
As I open my eyes, to find my

To Some Extent

To some extent
My existence is being questioned
For the choices I've made

My dreams are being queried
For watching me sleep and still dream

My conscience is being crucified
For the horrible horrors I've accepted in life

My heart is being broken
For the unhealthy living and uncertainties

My soul seeks refuge
For all it witnessed and fear may consume me

Correcting Unhealthy Inaccuracies

EarthMother senses a difference
between Political Correctness
and everyday domestic political accuracy.

Political accuracy grows best
and sprouts up healthiest rooted
in directly observed EarthNatured experience

While CapitalInvested Political Correctness
is more shallow sandy shifty rooted
in some LeftBrain dominant
EgoPatriarchal WorldView Theory
of competitively debated,
sometimes uncivilly violent
armed and vigilantly ready defensiveness
about sacred anthro-supremacist
divine-right
to beacon at the top
of a monoculturing ruthless 

Either you're with me
or

Healthy Thinking

Are we thinking, about money
or do we think, about honey

Are we thinking, about our health
or do we think, about our wealth

Are we thinking, of the needy
or do we think, for the greedy

Are we thinking, for all life
or do we think, just for your own life

Get Rid of the Evil

Money, has created the wealthy 
and many, who are unhealthy

Money, has given us disease
with a bacterium, of too many humans

Money, has created the wars
which has made, many sores

Money, has made many do crime
to relieve stress, by having a dime

Money, is not there for many
to have, a good quality life 

Money, has been abusing our granite
which

Unhealthy Living

Sleepless nights struggled to untangle
Searching dreams of private wrangle.
Which has beaten back unravel partners,
Solve the riddle with investigators. 
In angry purple bruised arguments, 
She Scrawled, insisted on resentments.
Covering up the truths in how she feels,
she does not like what Truth reveals.
to ruin her influential institutions,
I will lose by making the right decisions. 
But unhealthy living

Unhealthy Caregivers

"If I could turn you on,
if I could drive you out of your wretched mind,
if I could tell you
I would let you know."
     R. D. Laing

Ronald Laing
was a troubled psychotherapist
and a notoriously terrible non-dad
who heard dark voices in double-binding schizophrenia.

Knots of contradictory negative emotions,
needs,
troubling demands and troubled expectations
non-verbally underlying attachments,
sensed relationships
between

Healthy Or Not

I am staring at a healthy yellow banana with a touch of green.
Tempted? Not really. It is firm like I usually like
A pinkish yellow apple with a bit of a stem. 
I am pondering. Will it be sour or sweet?
Who put that chocolate milk on my desk?
Maybe me, a few minutes ago. I am sure
