How can you hurt me?
And feel nothing at all
And fail on your promise
To catch me when I fall?
...

Christmas time is coming
The snow is glistening as it falls
People are singing Christmas carols
And crowding at the malls
...

Waking up to you each morning
Kissing you every night
My world used to be dark
But now you're my light
...

I know that you’re crying
I see it every day
I know that you’re hurting
In every single way
...

I wasn’t there
To say goodbye
To hold your hand
Before you die
...

A daughter so cherished
Loved and adored
Has completed her life’s journey
To go be with the lord
...

Why can’t I be perfect? Why can’t I be thin?
Why do I feel when I eat, like I am committing a sin?
I count my calories each time that I eat
And force myself to vomit each night before I sleep
...

They said there would be no drinks
And the party's going to be a blast
Come on, you’re invited
Let’s rock this party fast!
...

Is anybody there?
Is anybody listening?
Do you even care?
Or am I not worth anything?
...

From the moment we met
To our very first kiss
It’s not a fairytale I’m feeling
It’s the feeling love gives
...

A truly amazing woman
We all honor here today
We treasure your love
That’s in our hearts to stay
...

Were out helping raise money
Far and near
You can help too
By donating right here
...

I pretend that I'm okay
As i hold back all my tears
While what becomes a reality
Is now one of my greatest fears
...

It all began with a depression
This mood I couldn't fight
I had this feeling deep in me
That something wasn't right
...

What started as a friendship
A passion that did ignite
We finally had our chance
This urge we couldn't fight
...

I took one bite
Fighting to be free
But I cringed when looking
At the food staring back at me
...

I didn't ask for this to happen
I won't allow it to defeat
This very powerful disease
I've set my mind to beat
...
