Control Poem by Hannah Diane Williams

Control

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes I miss starving myself
To the point of shaking and exhaustion.

I miss my heart pounding as
I watched the number on the scale decrease.

I miss putting my fingers around my wrist
And watching them overlap.

I miss the stares and attention
It gave me.

I miss feeling myself get
Smaller every day.

I miss being praised for
The weight I had lost.

I miss feeling in
Control of my own body.
