the lights d i m im told to lay down. candles are put in a circle around me they ask, “do you hate your body?” i say “yes” they slice of a slab of flesh from my stomach they repeat, “do you hate your body?” i say even louder now, “yes” they slash off more flesh but now from the inside of my thighs they repeat one last time, “do you hate your body?” i scream “Y E S!” the candles blow out. the ceiling opens up to reveal a starry night sky and they speak for the last time “you are reborn” -getting rid of my eating disorder

a much needed ceremony
the lights d i m im told to lay down. candles are put in a circle around me they ask, “do you hate your body?” i say “yes” they slice of a slab of flesh from my stomach they repeat, “do you hate your body?” i say even louder now, “yes” they slash off more flesh but now from the inside of my thighs they repeat one last time, “do you hate your body?” i scream “Y E S!” the candles blow out. the ceiling opens up to reveal a starry night sky and they speak for the last time “you are reborn” -getting rid of my eating disorder
