Lifeless

“Sure, my waist got smaller,

But so did my smile.

Sure, my curves disappeared,

But so did my personality.

Sure, my bones were visible,

But so was my misery.

Sure, my thighs had a gap between them,

But so did my loved ones and I.

I wasn’t just losing weight

I was losing my life.

I was lifeless.

But as I recover, I am no longer lifeless.

I have life again.

Maybe my stomach has rolls now.

Maybe I had to size up in my pants.

Maybe my thighs have cellulite.

Maybe I don’t have visible abs anymore.

But I’m happier and healthier now,

And most of all,

I’m no longer lifeless.”
