Eating Disorder

I don’t feel I have the words to describe an eating disorder 
It’s like having mean monsters always waiting around the corner
Once the seed is planted there is no going back
It starts off small with things like not wanting that snack

As the tree starts to grow it feeds the monsters more
The problem can’t be easily fixed as it’s at your core
You just want control over your life that’s all 
But when you are ill you need to break down that barrier wall 

There’s nothing wrong with being a bit overweight and that’s a fact 
No one should think less of you, you’re beautiful, never feel attacked 
Your brain never truly recovers even after the disorder stops 
It’s like how even after the storm there are still remaining raindrops

Food is good for your physical and mental health and it’s a form of self care 
Don’t listen to the media you can’t survive on just water and air 
Remember that the brain can be in a very dangerous state 
Take it slowly always know it doesn’t matter about your weight
