A Lost Battle
Yesterday
Anorexia knocked me for six
She exploded
Like a fire cracker
In my head
So fast I didn't see her coming;
She engulfed me
Before I could get out of the way.
She reached out
With those enticing long black fingers
And seized me
In her vice-like grip;
I was completely entangled
So quickly
Like a fly caught in a spiderweb;
It happened so quickly
I was no match for the attack;
It made me realise
How far I've come
And how long it's been
Since I've felt so ruled
By that voice in my head.
I didn’t know
She still had so much strength
Almost as if she’d been crouched quietly
Building up her reserves
Waiting for the right moment …
For the first time
In what seems like a long time now
I lost the battle
And anorexia won.
