I got a DM sitting in my inbox From a teenage girl "I don't know if you'll ever even read this But how in the world Did you get better? I wanna get better too You seem so confident I wish I was like you" And I don't know what to tell her I'm not an expert I don't have a cookie cutter answer All I know for sure Is one day it hit me Hating myself Was probably gonna kill me And I chose my health It's been a long long battle And a tough five years It took a lot to dismantle And an endless amount of tears But the more that I recover It's easier to see And when I look in the mirror I think I actually like me When my thoughts get mean What should I do? I want to recover When I gain weight What should I do? The only thing I should be doing is I want to recover
