Scars (Answer to my cry)

I know you feel as though your life and fear have unified.

Your life is no longer being lived the way I intended.

A life lived loving, a life full of zeal, a life of truth and trust.

Instead, you are blinded and unsteadily walking through the motions of life.

You have lost your faith as well as your path.

Be strong my child.

Be bold, let your walls fall.

Let me heal your wounds.

My grace is the only freedom from your life of self-torture.

Reach out and I will place it in your hand.

Though you may think time is of essence,

I will forever be by your side, holding the key to your lonely heart

Waiting for the day you realize your hand is in mine and I have never left.

Ve en Paz,

Your loving Father Above

Goodbye Hunger for Starvation

Dear ED (Eating Disorder),

You have caused me to lose control.

You have taught my world to revolve around the ungodly.

As I use my own hand as my tool, you relish in my demonic addiction.

You consume me with the hunger for starvation,

As you encourage me to rid my body of what unsubstantial nutrition remains.

You watch with a sly grin as my hand shakes with anticipation.

Your satisfaction rises with the flow of bile up my burning throat.

You feel the power of victory as my eyes begin to brim with tears.

You whisper those manipulating words to my faint anemic body.

“Sweet, pleasurable relief, found solely in me.”

Control me no more.

Your power is renounced.

This secret affair is concluded.

As I peacefully bid you goodbye.

I shut and lock the door.
