Mar 2014
Spring is coming,
And that means my cough gets bad,
And I need to take more medicine,
And my depression gets worse.
I know I have a mental breakdown coming,
But I have been putting it off
Because I simply don't have time.

I bought a tape measure,
And every day
Twice a day
I measure my stomach
My chest
My neck
My thighs
My arms
My waist
And my calves.
And I mark down the date, time and measurement.

I'm trying to stop the vomiting part,
But lately it has actually been working out quite nicely.
I'm going to work on it, though.
It's messy and gross and shameful.
