There's a reason that eating disorders
Are most common
Around the second decade of life.
It's the time right before you get a chance
To build your shield of confidence
And to find out who you are
And what your strengths are
And what you're living for.
Make yourself a promise
For your future self looking back
And thanking you for sticking around.
Don't vomit until there's nothing left,
Don't starve yourself to death,
Or you'll never live to see how beautiful
You are and always were,
Or you'll never see how much more
There is than beauty and imperfections,
Or you'll never see how imperfections
Are the most beautiful part of the human race.
You are still growing.
There is still time for change.
The problem begins with society.
It found soil in your brain.
But one day, you will find the strength
To stop watering it,
And as it dies out, you will make room
For something new to grow."
