I like to eat.
I eat to make myself feel fuller, to make myself seem real.
I eat to make myself feel,
only niceties of the world.
I eat to drown out the bad feelings,
that are present in all beings,
maybe if I eat so much, they'll just go away.
I like to eat.
I like eating junk food, chocolates maybe,
to taste the rich cocoa running on my lips.
Or maybe potato chips, just to hear them crunch.
Fill up my tummy so I can miss lunch.
I like to eat.
Eating makes me alive.
It makes me happy to think,
that I can still enjoy glorious delicious food.
Unlike some children, in Darfur
or Somalia. They starve because they've got nothing.
It's a sad feeling
to know that people starve themselves to be thin.
I like to eat.
Even though it makes me fatter.
But eating makes me happy, so it doesn't matter.
Chocolates especially, they contain chemicals
to stop you from crying.
Eat some chocs at night,
and then you'll feel all right.
Even if your parents are nagging at you 24-7.
Even if you think your dad is useless.
Even if you broke up with your boyfriend.
Even if you feel devastated.
Eating will make you full,
make you round,
make you happy,
make you numb.
I like to eat.
