Overdose Of Calories (Bulimia)

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Oct 27, 2011


Overdose of calories
I have gone way too far
I ate all of the cookies from
The cookie jar

I swallowed down ice cream
With bars of chocolate too
I locked myself in the toilet
With one thing left to do

Toothbrush down my throat
Sick in my hair
Retching louder and louder
Whispering it's not fair

Bulimic and young
Twenty four years old
Doing what I do
Because that's what I'm told

Mia she tells me
She always has her say
Nothing and no-one can
Get in her way

That's why I'm here
In the bathroom again
Looking for peace but
Only finding pain

    You described this really well, I know how it is, I was slightly bulimic in the past and I can say this how it's like. Great Job 5/5

    You outdid yourself here,
    You really created a masterpiece here, seriously,
    you penned the pain of bullimia perfectly, the feelings and emotions were breathtaking, the words were simple yet effective

    I could really picture this young woman retching and vomiting in the toilet, scared, alone and lost.

    I hope that this was purely fiction, and if you ever need to talk, I am here as are we all.

    Love,
    always
