Transformation

My whole body feels heavy

My feet are dragging

My arms are covered in scrapes and blood

As they drag against the rough ground

As I fill my head with heavy thoughts

“Ugly”

“Fat”

“Dumb”

I can’t take it much longer

It was so sudden

I didn’t even see it

I start to fall

Fall

Falling

I shut my eyes

I am ready

I lived a good life

*Thump*

I lookup

Two sparkling eyes staring back at me

They smile

Hug me

And whisper

“I love you, you are loved”

I feel lighter

The heavy words disintegrate and float up

My wounds start to heal

My heart starts to heal

New thoughts enter my mind

“You’re beautiful”

“You’re smart”

“Own your body”

I smile

I look around for those eyes

I can’t see them

But I can feel them

Always looking out for me
