Eating disorders

Eating Disorders, a battle within,
A constant struggle, to find a win.
It takes control, it takes the lead,
Leaves us feeling trapped, in an endless need.

It whispers lies, that we’re never enough,
That the only way, is to be thin and tough.
It steals our joy, it steals our peace,
And leaves us with a soul that just can’t breathe.

But still we rise, and face the fear,
With courage that we hope is near.
We take a step, and then another one,
And slowly, slowly, we’ve begun.

To see the beauty in our bodies,
To find the love, and the peace that’s inside.
And though it’s hard, and it’s not fair,
We choose to keep moving, to show we care.

For we are warriors, of the mind,
Fighting battles, that others can’t find.
And in our hearts, we know we’re strong,
And that we’ll keep marching, all day long.

So when you feel the grip of an eating disorder,
Remember the love, and the peace that’s inside.
Remember the hope, and the courage you’ve tried,
And know that healing is always by your side.
