For Thirty-five Days

For thirty-five days,
I kept myself clean
I lived as I should live
I started to recover

For thirty-five days,
I pushed myself so hard
I held my tongue,
I held my food

For thirty-five days,
I started to love myself
Just like I used to
Before I broke

For thirty-five days,
I began to stand again
On my own two feet
But then I fell

Can I get back up?

Author notes

35 days without purging, ruined by a second helping of the stuffed chicken. -_- I've done it a couple of times since then.

I feel like it's never going to get better.

First impressions?

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

      Thank you.

      How am I stronger than you?
      I've neglected, so far, to mention to anyone who knows about the bulimia that when I wasn't purging, for the most part I was restricting. Not badly or anything, and it's not really so much about losing weight anymore. I can't stand the feeling of being full.
