Blessing in Disguise
I’ve been purging for five years.
My teeth are yellow no matter how well I take care of them - the acid always wins.
My gums bleed sometimes.
My throat stings when I laugh too hard.
I get lightheaded when I get up too fast.
I can’t sleep - not because I’m not tired, but because hunger is louder than exhaustion.
I’m always freezing.
And my hair? It’s thinner than it used to be.
I find strands on my pillow, in the sink, on my clothes.
But I don’t care if it hurts , I want a perfect body.
Mia stole my warmth, my sleep, my peace.
But she gave me comfort in discipline and control.
It’s a blessing in disguise, even if it kills me.
