Numbers

Lately,

It has become routine for me 

to write down every calorie I consume

as if nourishment was something

to simply be added and subtracted.

To me,

food is like an enemy.

Humiliating,

avoided,

feared.

But at the same time,

food is like an unwanted crush.

It holds the power to make me happy,

it's inevitable,

and it's obsessive.

I just wonder

when my relationship with food

will be more than just numbers.
