…how not to treat the self…

*E.E.

35 and more pounds later

the hole inside still refuses to cease fire

and it will not at all relent

unless one ceases to insist

…

in protest the body lets go

its frame already chronically ailed

no longer able to bear well the pain

*E.E: Emotional Eater (an abbreviation self-coined after the A.A. model)

For some, it is the alcohol; for others, food. Overusing it, that is. To numb acute sensations. Or to lessen the inborn high sensitivity of emotions when reacting to life. Bluntly put: being self-destructive. Due to the inability to accept rejection by an other [sic]. Or by one’s self.
