my body is no longer actively dying
i’ve gained weight
im what they call “healthy”
i have to learn how to love my body again
a body that i do not even want
because my soul is still shriveling
a soul that is still malnourished
a soul that is dying
everything hurts
third degree burns and glass in my skin
but at least i look “healthy”
they’re proud of me for gaining weight
but i miss my skin reflecting
how i feel on the inside
i feel like scraps of myself
pieces of me that will never be again
skin and ligaments disappeared
torn away from those i loved
when they had no love for me
forever thrown away and never to be remembered
“you look better”
but i don’t feel any different
stuck inside of a skin i don’t love
skin i wish i could rip away
wishing to show you
that the weight i’ve gained
doesn’t mean i’m healed
