neighbors

we were strangers with one commonality
we each have an eating disorder
slowly over the last 21 days
we have become more than strangers,
we have become neighbors,
neighbors with a strong tie.
we may not always get along
but we have one thing in common
we realize that we are strong.
we are strong in a community setting
and we help one another
when one is too weak to stand on their own.
we are neighbors and we are strong
we are neighbours for we are lifelong.
