Eat to Grow
Food was always a source of happiness Eating a fun pastime Until it wasn't Until it became a fear-filled activity Until it overtook me and I lost who I was If I could go back I'd tell her that it's okay I'd tell her to love herself, love food, love it the way many people don't get a chance to I'd tell her to enjoy being a "kid" for as long as possible I'd tell her that in letting her image and bodily appearance overtake her, she was letting go of her childhood and embracing something else I can't go back though, no one can But I can learn I can learn to love myself I can learn to enjoy the simple things in life I can learn to appreciate what I'm lucky to have I can learn
