Before I knew you, my eyes were bigger than my stomach,
Constantly looking at the world’s splendor to fill me up,
To form my identity, to provide me comfort.
I was so wrapped up in people who struggled with their identity trying to tell me who I was,
wrapped up in filling my body with foreign substances that were killing my soul as well my temple,
that were not only drugs.
I was poisoning my body.
Then, I did not realize that I was developing an anorexic habit,
depriving my body of the needed nutrients to enrich my soul,
pushing myself away from the ONLY One that is meant to fill this void,
the ONLY One that can quench my hunger and my thirst.
My heart needed to be conformed and my mind renewed to realize that the only One who knew me before I knew myself,
the One who predestined me for greatness,
the One who has never left my side,
God
is the only One that can sustain me and keep my body as well as my soul healthy.
Only through HIM, can I be fully satisfied.
