Dear ____,

Dear Body,

I love you but I hate you. I'm sorry. You aren't what I want you to be, but I'm trying to be okay with that; be patient with me. I am so sorry for everything I've done to you. I'm sorry for the sleepless nights, because I know you need your rest. I'm sorry for taking a blade to you and causing you to bleed, I know you need to be taken care of gently. I'm sorry for starving you, I know you need your energy. I'm sorry for saying horrible things about you, I know you are perfect. I'm sorry. You do so much for me, and I still give you shit. You try your best to keep me alive, but I hope and wish to die. I'm trying to show you more compassion, but please be patient with me. I have to heal from years of others distorting my vision of you, so this will take time. Thank you for everything you've done for me, do for me, and will do for me.
