NOONE SHOULD STRUGGLE FROM AN EATING DISORDER OR GO THROUGH RECOVERY ALONE
I AM NOT ALONE
I am not alone anymore
I remember being
Afraid and Uncertain
Vulnerable and Naïve
Unacceptable and Unworthy
If I could only change
My life would be perfect
This disease came in
Taking over everything
Sneaky and deceiving
If only I could lose weight
Secret to make me special
The answer to everything
Isolating from life
Protecting my secret
Lonely, searching for friends
But not needing anyone
I thought I was in control
My control controlled me
Never realizing HOW sick
Plagued with denial
Succeeded at weight loss
Lost so much more
Secrets to protect the disease
Could not love
With so much self-hate
Not trusting
Controlled by the secrets
The thoughts never stopping
I just needed to keep going
If I did not have an eating disorder
Life was not worth living
I could not get recover
I was a failure
I gave up
I had no purpose
I was losing the fight
I was too sick
I could not fight anymore
I needed help to live
I found Hope in the Lord
Those he sent to help
He was waiting for me
I took that leap of faith
It was not easy
Recovery was hard
Reaching out saying help me
I cannot do this alone
I learned to trust
I am not the same anymore
I said I am ready to let go
Of hurts holding me down
He lifted me up to see
Life is better when set free
Not needing to prove
I am special and worthy
I was made for more
Take a bite and see
I can live my dreams
Discover my purpose
Life began to have sunshine
No longer darkness
Recovery takes work
I had to trust and let go
I had to accept the truth
Others were showing me
Slowly I healed physically
I accepted that I am loved
I was able to love
I am set free
I am worthy of Grace
Not an eating disorder
He already knew my pain
He wants to wipe it away
Lord, I want to trust you
He said let me carry you
I do not have to worry
He suffered for me
I am not alone
My slate is wiped clean
I need to be healthy
To use my purpose
He said you are not alone
All suffering
Will reveal His Glory
I will not be deceived again
I will trust in the Lord
I am not alone
