“The Illusion of Control”
By Ashley O’Hare
It was all for control-
calories in, calories out.
This was the easiest way-
the only way I knew how.
It was all under control-
every bite logged.
I kept track of every workout-
every crunch, every joy.
It fell out of control-
my world became black and white.
I was making progress
with no end in sight.
