Alexa
by: Steph

Alexa-
Starlight shines over you
Yet you do not see it
You have been masked,
Masked by the evil, anorexia's spirit.
You are drawn by your wicked days, to live in harm
A harmful world, which has no existence
A world where the mind sets on invisible power
When trying to win this power, you feel there is no hope
It is the gloomy night telling you to give up
Give up your endurance to recovery
Yet you ARE strong, and you will continue gaining
strength as you fight this evil.
You have your bad days
but the bad days will pass.
Grab on as you will, dear
You will make it
Someday, you will see the starlight shining over you
I Promise.
