So frightening, I don’t know what to do.
Can scarcely breathe, fear swells inside of me,
Cuts off all reasoning and keeps me bound.
Who knew how scary nourishment could be?
I’m certain that from just a bit or two,
I’ll fail to stop and lose complete control.
Entire meal may even pass my lips.
That possibility just scares me so.
But how can I be so afraid of food?
I know I need it to survive and yet
I won’t partake of what sustains my life.
My fear of food exceeds my fear of death.
Perplexed, I don’t know why I feel like this.
Why can’t I just allow myself to eat?
It seems so simple, yet it’s hard to do.
One bite should not be such a major feat.
I’m so confused, what causes me to feel
Like eating means I’m weak and giving in?
There’s more beyond the surface I am sure -
I know I need to pray and look within.
Oh loving Lord, I ask you to reveal
The reasons underneath I cannot see.
And ‘til confusion clears and fear gives way,
Oh Lord, please hold my hand and dine with me.
