Imagine - poem

Imagine a life not focussed on food
Where each meal doesn’t dictate your day and you mood
Imagine a life that is free and real
Where you wake up each day excited to live
And don’t just dread the next meal
Imagine a time where exercise is fun 
It’s running around the park on a summers day 
Enjoying being in the sun
You’d run to feel the breeze 
And walk to admire the trees. 
Imagine a life without hospitals 
Without meal plans and appointments 
Without rules and restrictions 
And your eating disorder causing disarray 
With constant contradictions. 
Imagine numbers being just for math 
And the occasional soduku 
And the only scales you cared about 
We’re the ones weighing your suitcases 
As you jet off to explore more places 
Imagine christmases with hot cocoa
And Easter’s with eggs
 birthdays with cake 
And hot days with milkshakes. 
Don’t give up on this life
It’s closer than you think. 
And I know sometimes
You feel on the brink. 
But hold onto hope
Keep plodding along
I promise you it’s possible
You just have to stay strong. 
So take it Day by day
And be kind to yourself 
Keep fighting and don’t quit
Because this life, free from this illness
It’ll be worth it.
