Bulimic Love Story

sitting in the dark
was a girl so alone
she was afraid to talk
for she was only bone

and when she came out
her family didn't know
for she wore long sleeves
so her size wouldn't show

and when she goes to school
they make fun of her
she becomes real depressed
and her self-esteem is a blur

then when she's at an end
along comes a boy
he holds her gently
and shows her joy

he tells her it doesn't matter
if you're thick or thin
as long as you're yourself
you should always have a grin

For you are beautiful
Just the way you are
Just be happy with yourself
And you'll go far

And over time
She became much better
She ate much more
And no longer needed a sweater

Now bulimia is a disorder
That is common to have
But if they get help
The effects are cut in half

Now on June the second
You will be aware
That eating disorders are about
And there is a cure

It's called love
And a caring hand
So help them through it
And take a stand
