The shape of me

The shape of me

A 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
