In the hidden corners where shadows reside,
Lies a whispered struggle that shame can’t hide.
A battle within, consuming heart and soul,
The silent chaos of an eating disorder’s toll.

A fragile spirit bound by chains unseen,
Falling into patterns, unhealthy routines.
In the depths of hunger’s cruel embrace,
Lies a shame that gnaws, leaving no trace.

The world may judge with critical eyes,
As the weight of shame upon you lies.
But in this darkness, let me be your guide,
To speak of the shame you cannot hide.

Society’s standards, a relentless storm,
Dictating how we should look, conform.
The whispers of shame, they taunt and condemn,
As you fight a battle no one can comprehend.

Yet, know that you’re not alone in this plight,
Many hearts carry secrets, hidden from sight.
For the path you tread is filled with pain,
A struggle that is not easily explained.

But listen closely to these words I impart,
Shame does not define the strength of your heart.
You are more than the numbers on a scale,
A radiant soul that’s meant to prevail.

It takes courage to confront the demons within,
To seek the light when shadows begin.
Release the shame that holds you captive,
Embrace the journey to healing, adaptive.

Know that recovery is a winding road,
With setbacks and victories yet untold.
But with compassion, love, and steadfast might,
You’ll reclaim your spirit, shining bright.

So let the shame be washed away,
In the river of self-acceptance, let it sway.
You’re a warrior, fighting battles unseen,
And together, we’ll unravel shame’s cruel sheen.

For you are worthy, beyond measure or doubt,
A beacon of resilience, let that truth sprout.
May your journey be marked with strength and grace,
As you rise above the shame, finding your place.
