YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE
There's just one more bite left
But I can't choke it down
Calorie count be damned
I am anyway
I'm too full already
Stuffed with sadness, engorged with emptiness.
There's just no room for food
Or comfort
When you've learned to crave perfection
So far from perfect, so far from pleasing.
My stomach churns
Bloated by the ideal life
That isn't what I want
But what I'm told to be grateful for.
After all, appearances are everything
So I lift my fork and clean my plate
Be the good girl they expect
Smiling all the while as I am slowly eaten alive
By this dead space inside
And gagged with my silver spoon.
