I write down the numbers,
next to the date,
on my phone,
95, apple.
15, rice cake.
10, energy drink.
.5, ibuprofen.
I indent,
that's all for today.
It still feels like too much.
I feel like too much.
I stand up to walk to the scale,
and I see stars,
and I fall to the ground.
that's the first time I started wishing,
I didn't see the world as numbers.
