Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for starving you
For not nourishing you
For not giving you what you needed
Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for overfeeding you
For sometimes purging you
My mind said it was what I needed
Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for ignoring you
For not listening to you
When you told me what you needed
Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for hating you
For physically hurting you
While you gave me all that I needed
Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for talking to you
With shame, loathing and disgust
You deserved better than I gave you
Body, I’m sorry
Sorry for not knowing how
To listen, nourish and respect you
To give you the love you’ve always needed
Body, I’m sorry
And thankful
That you’ve kept me alive
