This poem is dedicated to all sufferers of eating disorders


This is a beautiful poem that brought tears to my eyes. I found it in a book called "HOPE". The poet is a recoverer of anorexia, but unfortunately, her name is not given.
  For You All


Please don't punish yourself any more
You are strong and important
I know this. If only you could see it.
I would not destroy, or cause you a moment's pain.
I see no reason for that.
You don't deserve it.
Please see what I see.
My eyes see the whole picture,
Which is different from what you think I see.
I see you sick, I see you in pain,
I see you sad,
I see you hurting yourself when there is no need.
All I want to do is help.
I also see your beauty. I see you strong. I look up to you,
And my respect grows with every hardship you get through.
Please keep on fighting with all the strength you have,
Not because I ask you,
But so that one day,
You can share with my eyes
And see the wonder in you that I do.


Dedicated to all sufferers of eating disorders.

"Wise Up"

by Aimee Mann
from the album soundtrack "Magnolia"



It's not
What you thought
When you first began it.
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.

You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it.
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just ... give up.




"Adia"

by Sarah McLachlan
from the album "Surfacing"



Adia I do believe I've failed you.
Adia I know I let you down.
Don't you know I tried so hard,
To love you in my way.
It's easy, let it go.

Adia I'm empty since you left me.
Trying to find a way to carry on.
I search myself and everyone,
To see where we went wrong

'Cause there's no one left to finger
There's no one here to blame
There's no one left to talk to honey
And there ain't no one to buy our innocence.

'Cause we are born
Innocent
Believe me Adia,
We are still innocent.
It's easy we all falter
Does it matter?

Adia I thought that we could make it
I know I can't change the way you feel.
I leave you with your misery
A friend who won't betray,
I Pull you from your tower,
I take away your pain,
and show you all the beauty you possess
If you'd only let yourself believe

That we are born
Innocent
Believe me Adia,
We are still innocent.
It's easy we all falter
Does it matter?
Believe me Adia,
We are still innocent.
It's easy we all falter...
but does it matter?

Fade To Black

by Metallica

from the album "Ride The Lightning"



Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
Simply nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone
No one but me can save myself,
But it's too late
Now I can't think,
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm,
Now I will just say good-bye.

Dark Despair





"Angel"

by Sarah McLachlan
from the album "Surfacing"


Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For the break that would make it okay.
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weighless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here.
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here.

So tired of the straight life
And everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all
that you lack.
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
That in this sweet madness
Oh glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees.

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here.
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here.

In the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
