Tomorrow (Bulimia)

Yesterday I was lazy,

Yesterday I ate a lot,

Yesterday I gained some weight so was sick until my eyes grew blood shot.

Yesterday I hated me

Yesterday I was scared

Yesterday I hurt my throat so as I drank it later burned.

Yesterday I was hazy,

Yesterday was a blur,

Yesterday as the car moved forward, I felt my whole body moan and churn

Yesterday I made a promise,

Yesterday I knew,

Tomorrow will be different I said. I will start afresh. Anew

But today I woke and felt empty,

And guilt of yesterday grew,

So in my mouth I shoved some food of which I later threw.

Today again I will promise,

Today again I will hope,

Tomorrow will be different please, because no longer can I cope.
