Confronting Feelings

I eat to stop my feelings

I eat to make them soar

I eat too much and drink too much

And end up on the floor

I used to be so different 

I used to have control

I’m working on this, but substances

Have truly taken their toll

So see me in the future 

What does the future hold?

I can beat it if I can feel it

Or so that’s what I’m told
