Dear Self (A letter about eating disorders)

Dear Self,

This is a reminder
To watch what you eat
I know it sounds sinple
But it's no easy feat

You're going to be tempted
There's food all around
You'll want to give in
And consume what you've found

I'm here to remind you
Of what the mirror will say
If you look at it tomorrow
After giving in today

This body is gross
You weigh far too much
Your stomach is bulging
And so on and such

Then you'll feel guilty
You'll need to come clean
You'll go to the bathroom
So you won't be seen

Your finger will go down
Your sin will come out
There's no time for questions
There's no room for doubt

When you are done
You'll feel blank inside
This is too much to bear
Too much to hide

To avoid this dilemma
I'm reminding you
You'd rather not eat
Than regret when you do

Sincerely,
Self
