Today I fought my brain.
It was whispering in my ear that I do not deserve to put nutrition in my body.
It told me that it would be easier if I stopped eating and let myself waste away.
I ate anyways.
Today I fought my brain.
I looked in the mirror today and told myself that I am worthy, shoving aside the whispers of my brain telling me I'm terrible and that I am unworthy of anything good in life.
Today I fought my brain.
Sometimes the shadows and whispers drown me and win.
But today, I fought the shadows and won.
