Today I Faded
Woke up barely breathing,
my body a heavy stone,
fainted in the silence,
alone and so unknown.
I ate, not counting,
no binge to blame,
guilt crawled inside me,
whispered all my shame.
So I purged the weight away,
emptied what I feared,
stepped on the scale and found,
four pounds disappeared.
A fragile victory,
a war beneath my skin,
losing but still fighting,
trapped deep within.
Fading with each heartbeat,
clutching control’s thread,
today I almost broke,
but I’m still not dead.
