Adolescence

a lil poem i wrote abt overcoming my eating disorder

All those days I measured myself against their shine,

Days blurred with hunger I mistook for being fine.

Oh, but sunlight still found me, gentle and true,

Laughter from friends painting my grey skies blue.

Evenings with novels, I drown in romance,

See myself softly through each second chance.

Choosing to grow at my own tender pace,

Each golden hour feels like finding grace.

Now I breathe easier, my heart in rhyme,

Collecting slow summers, rewriting my time.

Every page, every breath hums- I am my way back.
