The number on the scale

The lower it gets

The lower i set it

The harder i work

The more miles i run

All for the number on the scale to go down

All for the number that holds no value

All for the compliments

I lost myself

Each day became a battle

Go lower the voice in my head said

Go lower

Go lower

Make the scale lower

I broke

I broke myself

I broke healthy relationships

All for the number on the scale to go lower

I had enough

I was tired

Tired of the number on the scale holding value

i wanted to be stronger than the number on the scale

So i became stronger than the number on the scale

The number on the scale no longer holds value
