Gluttony grabs me at lightning speed, I feel at once that I must feed, Raiding the cupboards I stuff my face, Stomach filling, self disgrace, Rush into toilet, lock the door, Hands and knees now meet cold floor, Sink tap running to drown out sound, Will keep my secret, I cant be found, Head bent over the toilet seat, Punishment for all I’ve had to eat, Fingers scrape the back of throat, Abruptly I begin to choke, Vomit coursing over tongue, Gasps for breath as head stays hung, Flush the toilet, wash evidence away, Back on the scales to check what I weigh, Wipe the straying tears from my face, Then close the bathroom door
