Poison

The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. ~ Ann Wigmore

If you can't eat just one…
If one is too many
and a thousand is not enough…
If you feel compelled to eat
when you hurt, when you know
you want no more, when you hate it
and despise yourself…
When it's no longer nutrition
but poison, ready to grab you
and lead to death, slowly perhaps
or with near instantaneous malice…
When it's not medicine,
not sustenance, nor nutrition
but poison
why do you continue to put it in your mouth?
