It is funny how only when I fall back to my sickness,
Do I realise I was never free from it to begin with.
The caloric calculator in my mind never really switches off,
I simply silenced it for a short while.
The urge to count is always there,
It is there when I eat three meals a day,
It is there when I eat nothing.
For calories and numbers, once mere meassurements,
Have become both my worst nightmares,
And my greatest friends.
