Voices
When she looks in
the mirror
She doesn't see what you see
You see,
Skin and bones,
The sunken face,
And dark circles under her eyes.
She looks in the mirror
And sees just the opposite.
She sees a girl,
With too much fat here
And there
And her body figure just not perfect.
You tell her to eat,
And that she's way to thin.
The voice in her head
Are saying,
If she eats she will gain.
And be way too fat to be loved.
She has been told countless times over
You are special,
Unique,
And loved by all.
On the other hand
The strong voices shout,
You are worthless,
And plain,
You don't deserve any of their love.
This child
She needs your ever-lasting support,
And love.
Continue to tell her she is a special,
Worthwhile person
Undeserving of this terrible disease.
The road of recovery will be a bumpy one,
With many curves,
Steep hills,
And valleys.
With the love and support from all
She will again realize she is loved
And wanted.
You may feel your words
Of hopeful strength,
Are sounds she isn't listening to,
But your words will soon
Build up in her head
And conquer her evil thoughts.
She will soon blossom,
And live a life of
Love,
And laughter
Once again.

Ability
Ability is to look
at a blank page,
And create a poem.
Ability is to stare into the eyes of fear,
And come out stronger because of it.
Ability is to walk into a room of strangers,
And come out with friends.
Ability is to admit you are wrong,
When you are wrong.
Ability is to get back up,
When you fall down.
Ability is to believe,
When everything seems lost.
Ability-a simple word, with a complex meaning.
For many, ability is never found, but for all ability is within.
Ability stares everyone in the face at one time or another.
Whether your ability is how well you shoot hoops,
How well you flip at dancing,
How smart you are at school.
You have ability.
For some, ability is lost by never trying.
Whether never trying to shoot one more time,
Never trying to bend a little more,
Or never trying to score higher in school.
Ability is within.
Ability is yours.
