I'm starting to feel alright today

maybe not alright, but different for sure

I have forgotten to hate myself upon waking

I skipped the spiraling talk before leaving my room

I misplaced my self loathing and I'm not exactly looking to pick it back up

I can finally eat without crying

I stare out the window and what's wrong with me today

even the sigh that escapes my lips is full of a new normal

Am I
allowed to feel this way?

Has it really been long enough?
a new normal emerges past a painful familiarity
