Eating Disorder Poetry: Eat, Please Eat.

Eat

Please eat

Let your body live

I know your mind is messy

I know the scale is hurting you        

Just eat

Eat

Let your self love

I know it feels like the end

I know you want to see bones

Eat ok?

Please just eat

Your bones will still be there

I promise they won't be crushed

I promise the fat won't hurt you

Eat

Put the food in

Let yourself smile again

Let yourself laugh

Stop starving

Eat

Deep down there is a little girl

She grew up way too fast

Let her out

Eat

She is starving

Under the fragile bones         

Under the bruises

Please eat

Eat

She needs you

You see her in pictures and dreams

She doesn't care what size her hips are

Eat

Pick up the fork

Let yourself fight

Let yourself have dreams

Eat     

Keep it down

Fight to live

Fight to follow your dreams

Fight for the self that wants to live

Let go

Eat
