Happy New Years
This time last year,
I starved myself until I could count my
ribs
This time last year,
I exercised with a binder on
and refused to take it off
until my ribs bruised
This time last year,
I blamed God for abandoning me
and practiced hate on everyone
including myself
This time last year,
I was a shell of a person
This year,
I'll eat when I am hungry
drink when I'm thirsty
and sleep when I'm tired
This year,
I won't bruise my bones
in an effort to fit a mold
This year,
I'll accept help when I need it
instead of directing anger
at those who deserve it least
This year,
I'll fill myself without regret
