"Hi, my name is Sarah, and I haven't purged in almost four months." That's what I tell group therapy sessions Or online support groups When it comes to my eating disorder. Even better is when I talk about my cutting How it's been two years since I gave way to the knife Plenty of "oohs" and "ahs" and, my personal favorite, "You're so strong" Even though I still think about the sensation Almost every day. What I really am told And sometimes even think myself More frequently than not is "My name is Sarah The lying, conniving resident **** of my house" Or "My name is Sarah Fat girl, so pretty if she'd just lose the weight No longer ****** disappointing her family one day at a time" "My name is Sarah Just another basket case, pregnancy scare One, two, maybe three times How stupid can she be?" "My name is Sarah Child abuse survivor Or is the appropriate terminology 'victim'? Isn't she over it yet?" That voice and the one that calls me Strong, when the other calls me fat Passionate, when the other calls me obnoxious Potential, when the other calls me hopeless Are constantly at war Bloodshed is the goal. Devil versus angel Compete to be the main influence in my life While really, The only thing that I can say for certain is "My name is Sarah The human being." And that is perfectly fine with me.
