1993: An Eating Disorders Poem

1993

 Has it been that long?

The miles I ran then,

 to burn off the

 smidgen of cookie that I

 failed to purge back up.

The hammer that rested

against my heart

heavier by the hour

as I climbed through life.

The salt and vitamins

and fluids my body lost

12 times a day.

The grief I lacked the

courage to stare down.

The humiliation

and relief,

when finally caught

in the act.

The help I got

and didn't know I deserved.

The work and sweetness of life.
