Food

Poetry

I hate how i feel

I hate my body

and I hate my mind

I don’t know why I don’t eat enough

I think i just forget

Am I messed up in the head?

I live food

don’t get me wrong

Some days

I eat in abundance

But other days

I eat ine meal

Because i forget

Ormaybe because subconsciously i want to be skinny again

But then I am hungry

And eat in the evenings

Regretting my choices

Eating junk food

And my stomach still unfull

I don’t know why I skip meals

I can’t help it

Am i messed up in the mind?

I don’t think you’re messed up, I forget to eat plenty too. But I hope you do whatever feels right for you🫶

Umm my question would be how do you find motivation to write even when you don’t feel like it? That’s what I always struggle with. Ik that’s not a super creative question but I’m tired😅

I guess from childhood I miss thinking everything would always be fine, like nothing really mattered so I could live how I want. And that’s probably still true now, but it doesn’t feel that way anymore

Hello Muse!

I really liked this and I kinda get how it feels. I’ll skip lunch one day and the next eat a lot of junk food lol

I don’t think you’re messed up (at least no more than other people) (maybe that’s not a good sign tho-)

Anyways, lovely poem.

I hope you feel better soon.🩵

If i could ask you a question… hm I’m gonna ask you if you know any of my unpopular fixations. Have you listened to/watched the singer Penelope Scott, the show Station 11, the band The Hold Steady, the musical Ride The Cyclone, or have you read the Silo Trilogy?

Oh also why’d you choose the name Museful Heart?

For question 2 I miss the playground behind my old house the most. You could just walk through the backyard gate and there’d be this playground, and there were these kids. I don’t remember most of their names now, but we would sit in the grass or wood chips playing groundies, mafia, making dandelion crowns. Just being kids.

I moved away before I owned anything that would let me contact them. My mom might have one of their numbers but I don’t know.

I miss them.

Have a nice night/day Muse🩵

Hi my beautiful people!

How are you all today?

I volunteered at the library today, but i usually do that a few times a week anyway. I am posting pretty late again, but have been feeling a big rough and skipping meals.

I hope you all have an amazing day/night/forever
