Voices Poem by Felicity moore

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