Beautiful girl You are worthy of more than This disease will ever give you So very deserving of a life filled with happiness And hope and joy All things anorexia is hell bent on depriving you of You have an identity outside this disorder Goals and aspirations that are meant to be achieved A voice that was not meant to be silenced Never doubt the strength you possess inside Courage and bravery that cannot be measured This disorder has taken away too many years But you are fighting a war that can be won Even on your darkest days When the thoughts are too loud And it feels easier to go back to the familiar comfort of old behaviours Know that the past is not a place you want to be stuck in You can break free from this destructive cycle Recovery is hard Believe me I know But it is time you started to heal God knows you deserve to heal To learn how to love yourself from the inside out To be at peace with your body And grow into the beautiful young woman you are meant to become
