Standing on life’s stage, please take a bow
A comment made by a friend of a friend
Relationship tested now comes to an end
A pretty picture of pure true beauty
Like the perfect apple that’s not too fruity
The comment made plays on your mind
You try to sleep but can’t unwind
You look in the mirror and see someone untrue
A decision made to lose a pound or two
But this leads to an obsession about your weight
All because of a comment from a mate
Your clothes don’t fit they just hang so loose
Friends ask why but you make an excuse
Your face gaunt and your beauty in the past
How long will this simple illness last?
The mirror again is the judgement in you head
It doesn’t matter what friends and family have said
Skin and bones is all that’s on show
Will the illness stop, we just don’t know
Finally, at last, a breakthrough in sight
The sun shines once more so bright
You begin to eat, not much but a start
You open up your troubled heart
A meeting with a doctor shows encouragement
Your body begin to respond to nourishment
A smile returns to a pale complexion
A hint of happiness no longer rejection
Slowly getting back on the road to recovery
Eating meals and new foods a discovery
No longer a recluse a local trip out
Your true friends never ever in doubt
The mirror image poses the biggest threat
You walk up slowly your mind not set
The vision ahead you see the real you
A positive start, your life is now new
Who do we blame for this heart breaking illness?
Press, friends, family, we’re clueless
We all want to look the best we can be
Outside isn’t everything look in and the beauty you’ll see
