My Little Secret

by sarah   Aug 3, 2005


I wonder how this happened
Through out all my years
I eat when I am happy
I eat when I have tears

I eat when I wake up
And before I go to rest
I eat when I’m stressed
And when someone is being a pest

I eat while watching T.V.
And on the computer too
I eat when I don’t want it
I hate to admit it, but I do

I eat when I am tired
I eat when I am wrong
I eat when I am weak
I eat when I am strong

I eat because it’s a comfort
I eat because I can
I eat because of my problems
And because people don’t understand

I eat because I hate myself
I eat because I’m sad
I eat because I’m ridiculed
I eat because I’m mad

I realize that I’m sick
And that I compulsively over eat
I want, and am willing to get better
This disease I want to beat

I will continue to make progress
And try my very best
I am not ready to give up
I am not ready to rest

    Very well described peice. as Tainted Mikochan said a lot of people do not think of complusive eating as an eating disorder and this peice really explains how it is. (my english has just gone really bad..... lol)

    This is a good poem, that explains an eating disorder that most don't know about, complusive eating. My Dad has this disease, and it hard to see that, so I am grateful for this poem!
