I Claim My Seat

I claim my seat. ~ Sally

The only requirement
for membership
in Overeaters Anonymous
is a desire to stop eating
compulsively. That's me,
and I hereby claim my seat.
Maybe I've been coming back
these seven years and maybe
you can't see results by dress size,
by pounds surrendered.
Maybe my life remains chaotic,
but I want the promises,
I cling to the hope. I intend
to keep coming back
until the miracle happens
and until then, I claim my seat.
