My overconsumption is consuming my very essence,
yet I can’t seem to stop
I have chained my very being to this endless cycle
gave myself no room for reason
I’m drowning myself in my own overindulgence where air is a luxury
that I no longer have the privilege to
Everything I do is to the very extreme
but I can’t stop
Not until every last crumb has been devoured
hunger never seems to cease for the body that never deserves it
Not until my eyes stay closed to see the world
instead forever stuck inside my head
Not until I drink and drink until the world becomes colorful and real
just to wake to spinning
The worst of it all is the pain
all of the pain
It never goes away
so I eat
so I sleep
so I drink
Until my pain is something explainable
Something preventable
Something to forget
