You feed me lies, you tell me I'm fat.
You tell me bones are beautiful...
Well I'll tell you what, you sick freak
You're not going to control me anymore.
I am beautiful, you can't take that
You can't take my will nor my life
I love myself! I don't care anymore
No beauty is worth this much pain.
So go away you horrid beast
Never come back
Because if you do, I'll just send you away!
Think you're strong? Not anymore!
I have realized people love me for me
not for my looks but for who I am!
You made me loose my friends
you lost me my happiness
but now I am free, I can see the beauty you hid
The beauty of the flowers, the sun...the ocean...
The beauty of laughter, of love, of caring
The beauty I feel inside myself.
and nothing you say can take that away.
Look at me now! I have a body!
Curves in just the right places.
I can taste food again without regret
I love my big body, stop saying its ugly!
I love my happiness, do not take it from me now!
I love my body as it is so go away!!
Do not tempt me you will not win!!
In this world of ever unobtainable dreams
you lure weaklings who can't find their own strength
leave them I say! Be gone from their lives
so that they too, might find beauty within.

- Title: Beauty Within
- Artist: Anzelia La Belle
- Description: A poem about facing Eating disorders and breaking the cycle by finding beauty within. This is my personal feeling on the matter as I have been struggling (and seem to have finally) gotten over it. I hope it will be judged by content and maybe touch you all in some way. Also yes its not flowery at all, its empowering is why XD
