THIN ✔︎

epilogue

Elizabeth, I scrutinise myself in front

Of that tall full-length mirror, that stands in the hall 

I remember being afraid 

Afraid of the dangers a simple mirror could possess

The power to show me how hideous I was

Now I'm not looking at how

Fat I am 

How skinny I should be 

But rather at how far I've come

It's been a year, and a half, after all 

I guess succumbing to anorexia was the worst mistake 

I ever made

And I realise it now, I realise the dangers, the sacrifices, everything

And it's still a little hard to dawn on myself how I hurt myself

For the glory of something impossible 

I've kind of used my experience as a rebound, 

To hurl me back into life

Right where I was and belong

I know it'll take a while

And things won't ever really be the same

But I'll try, I'll try

I've become a translucent of the girl I used to be

But I'm not invisible anymore

Every day, regaining form and colour and shape

I'm not the girl made of skin and bones

I'm the survivor, the girl who survived

And I'm proud of it 

I'm proud of the person I've become

The one who shone through the broken one,

Through the cracks, I had cut into my own skin

That's me now, that's me

I'm beautiful 

hello again, my dear wattpad friend <3 i must say it's been a long time since i've touched anything to do with 'THIN' but I stumbled over it today and was like: I NEED AN EPILOGUE. Therefore, I decided to write one. I love the ending I put here, and I probably will be adding extras on to the book as time passes, therefore 'The end' isn't really the end, I can't let go of stories, ugh. Partly because this is one of the few books I've written that actually have been completed.
