Saving Myself
My mind restricted to slumber
Only a few months was enough to challenge change
My charm that once was feels long gone
Sleep was a trance
A trance where emotions became dormant
And totaled relationships unconsciously
Abide to feeling stuck
Too stuck to free oneself from their own mind
Self value determined by shallow assumptions
But when the aid sinks in
The emotions are aroused
Too wild to tame
My mind no longer restricted to slumber
Ti’s time to overcome my mind
Days, weeks, months
Slowly saving myself from me

This piece describes how I felt during anorexia recovery and shows the emotions that went along with it. I wanted to portray that when your body is deprived from nurtients your mind goes into a slumber and it is difficult to experience the joy of life. Although difficult for many, It is entirely possible to recover and allow yourself to live life again.
