When she looks in the mirror
She doesn't see what you see.
You see skin and bones
The sunken face
And dark circles around her eyes.
She looks in the mirror and sees just the opposite.
She sees a girl with too much fat here and there.
And her body figure just not perfect.
You tell her to eat and that she's way to thin
The voices in her head shout
"If she eats, she will gain, and be too fat to be loved."
She has been told countless times
"You are special, unique, and loved by all."
On the other hand the strong voices shout
"You are worthless and plain! you don't deserve their love!"
This child
She needs your ever lasting support and love.
Continue to tell her she is a special and worthwhile person, worthless of this terrible decease.
The road to recovery will be a long one
With many curves,
Steep hills and valleys.
With love and support from all
She will again realize she is loved
You may feel your words of hopeful strength are sounds she isn't listening to,
But your words will soon build up in her head and conquer her evil thoughts.
She will soon blossom and live a life of love and laughter once again.
