My Body
wants to help me
survive this fake famine
slows everything down
making it harder to lose
doesn’t understand
the whole point of not eating.
My Body
is pissing me off
like a puppy dog trying to please
but getting it wrong
getting in the way.
Why can’t it behave
sit
stay
roll over
play dead.
Quit trying to help
stop licking my face
just go away.
