It's 6 am

I didn't sleep well

My stomach kept me awake

The cold sweats

Starting again

As my body fought to stay warm

I scramble upstairs

Turning on the bathroom light

What I see frightens me

Blood shot eyes

Dark circles

Pale face

Messy Hair

                                                 Holy hell.

                                                 I look like death

Nothing a little makeup can't fix

Let's see how we're doing

I step on the scale 

Stripping out of my sweater

And PJ pants

Two pounds 

Gone
