"I desire the things that will destroy me in the end."- Sylvia Plath


I am in a dark room

Under a bed

Shaking in fear

Waiting for it to find me

Like it always does

 


I hear the door

Crack open

And the footsteps

Coming closer

And closer

 


Until it grabs me

And fades

Into me

Taking over

Making me fear myself

Hi, my name is Kayla. I wrote this poem about an eating disorder and how for a short amount of time it will go away but it always comes back. The poem is describing the fear someone can get when they feel it coming back.
