I am not definable


I am stressed, frustrated, depressed

I am fat, ugly, sick

I am alone, anxious, inadequate

While these things may describe me,

They are not who I am.

My depression does not define me.

My anxiety does not define me.

My eating disorder does not define me.

My illness does not define me.

My past, present, future do not define me.

I am me. I am not definable.
