The sun rays
gently pasted against
the side of my face.
It was a beautiful day.
The birds sang,
and I hummed along.
I was content,
and eager to start my day.
I excitedly prepared myself
for a day to be spent with friends.
There were a few mishaps
that came up along the way,
but for some reason,
I remained okay.
I even had fun.
At the end of the day
my mouth was sore
and my stomach ached
from all the laughs and smiles
from that beautiful day.
And then, I woke up. It was all a dream. A wonderful dream I had on that late night that was a turning point for me. A glimpse into a life I would soon have without ED by my side. I knew right then that I would survive. I would be okay. I just needed to catch the dream. And I did.
