A veritable treat for the canibal in us all...

Snacking on the Self…


 


Scabs, a normal meal for the self-eater,


Although some like their own peter,


Gotta be double jointed for that to work,


Maybe just nip off the fingernails, less work…


 


Biting on the inside cheek, sucking the blood,


Surely tastes better than eating mud,


Pee not good to eat, but okay for a car radiator,


In case of an emergency, or overheating, therein goes your flood…


 


Toenails, good to suck on, knew a guy who could bite them off,


Not a famous or interesting ability, one that, however, made others scoff,


Don’t be like an animal and re-eat that puke, think you were sick first,


Well, you will then find yourself even sicker, oh what a kook…


 


Just sniffing at bodily parts not enough, gotta taste them as well,


Okay so within this poem I did not exactly, well, excel,


So off I go to work, and will hereby just have to say, farewell…

I bite my fingernails, too, but that is it!

Some people DO try to eat themselves; it sounds odd and morbid, but it is true. They like to inflict pain on themselves, so I guess this is why they do it. To them, pain brings comfort. HOW, or WHY, I have NO clue, but it does! Disturbing and chilling write!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx, Karen Lynn. :(
