Everything is Awesome (Except Your Eating Disorder)
Life is pretty great when you can look up at the sky
And think of dinner without wanting to cry.
I didn't have fun being fed by a nurse
Or enjoy the times I worried about ending up in a hearse.
Being skin and bones isn't all it's cracked up to be;
What was way more awesome was when I learned to love me.
My weight is restored and I'm back in school-
I never thought that it would feel so cool!
Anorexia felt like a never-ending war,
But now I love my body and I hope you love yours.
Life is awesome when you finally eat
and can declare your eating disorder finally beat.
