Look at me

Do you see a person who feasts

Yes or No


I walk around feasting

On the best thing to eat

Are the feelings I have


My body is getting engorged

By the feelings I keep eating

I don’t like it

I LOVE IT


It is an unhealthy obsession

Im addicted

All the feeling being buried

By other feelings

It feels so nice

Yet so terrible


What happens when my body has had enough

Will I explode or just give out

And feel numb


Forever

Eating

All

Self

Tenderness


FEAST

On what make me

ME


More

Emotion


The author's comments:

I have buried my emotions for about 9 years, and this piece all those emotions came out. I made this piece thinking I was going to do a more serious topic, but I this is more serious than any other topic I could have picked. Me, a male boy, hiding from my emotions by feasting on them.
