Grape Vine

A grape vine grows

From my stomach to my throat.

I choke and I spit,

Pulling the vine from the pit.

I pull, and I pull,

Until the grapes fall.

A vine of thorns down my throat

That tear and rot away the wall.

-I wrote this 13 months ago from today, when I was struggling immensely with bulimia. I find it sad to find old poems of mine, but I also enjoy seeing how far I've progressed– in health and writing ❤️

I wanted to share this to show that struggle is not permanent. You will be able to breathe again, even if you're presently choking on a grape vine.

@GracieBunn13

I'm so glad you've progressed and are in a happier place.

The rawness.

The pain.

The desperation.

The isolation.

I hope anyone suffering similar can see the hope that you are and you are so courageous to share , to help others 💕💜
