Slowly recovering
Slowly gaining back,
everything that I had lost to this disease.
Happiness,
Friends,
Laughter,
Me.

I may not be at my thinnest
or my craziest
but now I'm at my best.
I want to recover.
I want to rest.

I'm tired of counting
and constantly watching.
I want to be free,
I want to be me

...whoever that may be...
