Right Now: Eat

Sasha Nakamura

they say

you are what you eat

 

but what if you eat nothing 

what if you can’t 

 

what if it’s ruined for you

so nothing is left 

 

nothing is what i feel

who i am when you tell me it’s not real

 

when you tell me i made the decision

that it was my choice

 

that there’s something wrong 

that it was up to me 

 

like i chose to suffer 

like i wanted this pain

 

weighing down every day

until they all become the same

 

with nothing on the plate

there’s nothing on my mind

 

when something is on it

there’s always something to worry about
