The shape of meA Poem by Christopher Ross Livingstone
The shape of me,
Standing tall, facing mirror in truth. Another day Another image In the shape of me Undressing Gazing into reflection, Stirred inside of me. motions of body shame In the shape of me The shape of me In the mirror image Fuelled inside, Shame but yet, The truth of heart In the shape of me Mirrors, The the links to reflections The ripples to the pools To the deep within Stirrings of the rooted In the shape of me Truth Sharp but fierce. Led to me Straight to the face I was secretly eating and hiding the overeating In the shape of me Time, Like with anything Gives clarity To the face of truth, Dare to declare, Admit the truth, In the shape of me Checking in, into depths At a glance, Deep emotional distress In all shapes and size In the shape of me Into the binge, Overeating compulsions. To eat or not too. Sweet surrenders. Into the shape of me And the overwhelming nature Of an overeater, Sweet indulgences of the emotions, Escalates a momentum An uprising Cometh shame In the shape of me Hurtling within, Like freefalling. Comes a realisation Times must change And so must I Still and deep Surrendering myself and the shape of me To a life That is at peace, within © 2020 Christopher Ross Livingstone |
