Emotional Eating

Food drowns out pain,

And evokes joy, pakodas in the rain,

Ice cream for heartbreaks,

Mountains of steak,

Just because, you heard someone say protein intake,

Is better than stuffing yourself with mounds of cake,

The truth is, you can't drive away your sadness,

Or shoo away the darkness,

With food,

That's no good,

Put the emotional eating away,

Sit with your pain and it will go away,

Let it hit you like daggers,

Then focus on the things that matter,

Let the runners run,

There's nothing you could have done or undone,

In the meantime, skip the emotional eating,

It's self-defeating.
