I was 2017 and 104.5 all at once.
Walking in I said a prayer,
sitting down a curse.
How could I let myself get to this point?
The lowest of the low,
only finally not being able to accept my own demise.
Like a child, I learned the basics of life over again.
What’s a normal bite?
How do I know when I’m hungry?
Like an outsider, I was sheltered.
Hidden from the truth of the world,
and instead perched on a scale day after day,
learning how to love.
Four months later and I’m out,
a new person.
Still broken,
still scarred,
but now 121.6
and full hope.
