Poems About Eating Disorders

Recovery

Author: D. Shaw

A journey filled with ups and downs,
Recovery from eating disorders wears a crown.
It's not an easy path to take,
But with time and support, a healthier me I'll make.
I'm learning to love my body and mind,
And to leave the negative thoughts behind.
I'm finding strength in myself and others,
As I take back control from my eating disorder.
I'm learning to nourish my body and soul,
No longer letting food control my every goal.
I'm taking things one day at a time,
And I'm starting to see a brighter shine.
Recovery is a long and winding road,
But I know I'm carrying a heavy load.
I'm finding hope and courage within,
As I continue on my journey to recovery and win.

Eating Food

Author: K. Burke

Delicious, rich, and oh so sweet,
Eating food is such a treat.
It brings us joy and satisfaction,
Filling our hearts and minds with elation.
From succulent fruits to savory meats,
Food comes in so many different treats.
It nourishes our bodies and souls,
Making us feel whole.
Eating food is a daily delight,
Bringing together friends and family to unite.
It's a time to relax and be merry,
As we savor each and every berry.
So let's raise a glass and give a cheer,
For the joy and love that food brings us year after year.

A Sad Poem

Author: S. Ellis

A body wracked with pain and strife,
A mind consumed by endless night.
Eating disorders take their toll,
Leaving me feeling empty, alone, and cold.
I starve myself for days on end,
Hoping to see a thinner me around the bend.
But the weight keeps creeping up,
No matter how much I sup.
I hate the way I look and feel,
But I can't seem to break this bitter deal.
I'm trapped inside this prison of despair,
Wishing I could just disappear.
Eating disorders are a cruel disease,
Leaving me feeling so incomplete.
I wish I could be free and whole,
But for now, I just have to take it slow.
