- Light -
She was so used to being lonely;
Lost in her own thoughts;
a constant battle of
pick up the fork and eat, or
give in and find a way out of eating.
When she realized only she could
Help herself,
Was the day everything changed.
She was tired of being broken,
Now that she knew she could
feel alive again.
They say asking for help
Is the first step
In recovery.
She knew it was possible;
She could change.
She would find the light
Within herself again.

- Living -
She knew there would
Still be bad days.
Days when the thoughts
Would creep into her mind
And take over her body.
What she didn’t realize,
Was that she would have to
Live with this demon
Every day.
He would always be
Somewhere in her mind,
She just had to
Find a way to keep
Pushing him out.
She would learn
To choose recovery.
To choose living.
