Eating Disorder Poetry
Jodi
I cried "I can't do this alone
She offered to hold my hand through it
I never meant to share anything
But I did and I do
I never wanted to trust her
But I think I do
She knows things others don''t
About how I think, feel, and live
I've told her things I may never tell another
She challenges my negative thoughts, calms my fears,
and nurtures my wounded soul
She is kind and gentle
But also confident and secure
She believes so strongly that I can do this
I want to believe too
I've been lost for a long while
And she's helping me fight my way out of the woods
If there are angels here on earth I'm sure that she is one of them
