Twizzlers
Jelly Beans
Ice Cream
A slice of
Key Lime Pie
Sour Cream Donuts
And candy corn
And a complex
California wine
These are the treats
I love to eat
They offer comfort
During these stressful times
I’m not a drunk
I’m not obese
I have no mental
Affliction
I’m focused
Sharp
And driven
That’s proves
I’m not addicted
But day after day
A snack
A munch
A nibble
A sip of cheer
But it’s not my eating
That’s eating away at me
What’s consuming me
Is fear

I can really relate to that awful feeling of being eaten away by fear...I feel like I live there too, especially in these uncertain times. And it's true that sometimes just the right little snack will help relieve the anxiety...at least for a little while. Keep up the good work Malen - I appreciate you're keepin' it real...
ReplyDeleteThe journey to dialogue with you, Malen, is as wondrous as your journey on fear. For the obese, your 4th statement is, of course not true. While your eating may not be effective in moving through your fear, with the obese, fear-eating adds pounds. You are lucky.
ReplyDeleteFear has a relationship to a number of multiple causations and a major barrier to resolution, for me, is my unwillingness to change. To make those decisions that will be extremely painful and make them.
