My pathway to life

by *liZ*   Sep 13, 2005


My life was crumbling before my eyes, and I pray I'll stop before I die.

And every time I shed a pound, its another foot deeper in the ground.

But I've stumbled upon a forgotten room, where love and life starts to bloom.

I turned the knob and walked right in, people are normal not sickly thin.

I took one step, and held the wall, the path was rocky, so I try not to fall.

Another step forward and one step behind, I'm still having trouble making up my mind.

The world is welcoming shining the sun, better than starving, life is fun.

I can run with joy and breath with ease, I can actually say that I love me.

My mind no longer is captivated by weight, I made it in before it was too late.

I thank God for opening this door, now we can lock it, I wont be turning back anymore.

I haven't yet recovered... But it's

    I'm so proud of you Liz, on your way to recovery. It seems like you have much more hope then you did last time. Keep praying, Jehovah will help. You may fall on the path of righteousness, but you need to get back up and keep walking on this grand path.
