When all she sees is chaos
A diet looks
Like a recipe for peace
At least in her body
At least where she longs for control
And don't we all want peace
At least some small soft lovable peace
So she takes her
Longing
Desire
Fear
Sadness
Puts it on a diet
As if to tame the wild of the world
In her own stomach
She makes her own body
A battle ground for control
She forgets that her body
Is not where the problem lies
That another diet
Will bring more frustration and failure than peace
She forgets that if she just holds her body
With gentleness
It can hold her back
Even in chaos
