The girl stares
at the clock.
The girl trembles as

lunch is served.
The girl nibbles anxiously.
The girl gasps.
The girl stops but
she doesn’t want to.
The girl returns to the washroom.
The girl stares at her

reflection, or perhaps,
self-perception.
The girl pukes but throws up nothing.


The author's comments:

Inspired by the friends and strangers all around me, food disorder seems to be a pervasive problem amongst the youth yet we rarely talk about them. I find this alarming, and a problem worth writing about.
