Still the battle rages,
And though the field dark red,
Rather now the agony,
Than live already dead.
So 'til the foe is silent,
Ignoring pleas of aching limb,
Through soul's dark night of madness
My heavy sword shall swing.
***
I'm fighting so hard that the mental exhaustion of the constant clash of thoughts, matches, even outweighs, the physical exhaustion of the eating disorder.
At times, the swords swing so fast that I can't recognise whether it is me, or the Anorexia, who has won the round.
Two things I know for sure: It hurts like hell
and
it doesn't stop for a minute in any waking hour.
