What Beauty Was Never Supposed to Be Posted: 03-08-06 00:08am
Hi, my sister has been recovering from her
eating disorder since christmas
i wrote a poem about it awhile ago
and I just decided it would make a good
song, so I could give it to her
i haven't been able to find a server that
I could just post it on
but I was able to put it up on myspace, so
if you can bear with the myspaceness
my sister said she loved it, I thought
maybe someone else here would appreciate
it.
what beauty was never
supposed to be
here's the poem version:
what beauty was never supposed to be
her walls are lined with mary kate
she lies about what she last ate
when asked out on a date
she says you're just too good for me
in her room there's a trash can
full of pictures she can't stand
she finally takes the fifty third shot
and fixes it with photoshop
she wishes that she were that picture
how perfect is that figure
i still hear her saying
if only I if only i
i've tried to take the pain for you
and it's just been killing me too
there's nothing I can do
i wish that I could fix you
i wish that beauty like yours
always came with self esteem
i'll hammer all the mirrors
smash away the lies you see
100 pounds and only skin
she makes herself throw up again
this is what beauty
was never supposed to be
if I was granted one wish I know just what
it would be
i'd wish for a magic mirror so you could
finally see
it's you that's broken angel you're as
perfect as can be
your eyes are broken angel because you're
beautiful to me

thank you for reading or listening, I hope
it means something to you, and thank you
for enduring my voice, sorry

It isvery nice! It truly shows that you
care, you really seem to be there for her,
which is part of what she needs now the
rest is up to her. I really hope she can
make it as it is difficult. I cannot
stand skinny models, they look so sick, no
wonder they have to put on a ton of
make-up your sister is in my thoughts.
It is difficult for me to see these young
girls in the hospitals with iv's and tubes
going in them just to keep them alive and
what they are doing to their bones and
esophagus and other parts of their bodies,
this disease can really tare a person down
but their is hope I always believe in
that.
You and your sister are both in my
thoughts!

that was beautiful---
.God bless you. You have touched the
very bottom of my heart. I pray to
.God your sister finds her way---and with
the love you have for her---she should be
able to. You make me so happy--that
you love her like that---and not afraid to
let it show.
My kids love each other that way
too---they were brought up in church and
know the .Lord's love, but they are most
of the time---too bull headed to show it
to one another.
Just ---.God bless your whole family--i
pray--in .Jesus name.

It was really nice of you to make a poem
and song for your sister and by the way it
sounded great it makes you think. How old
are you and your sister im only 14 and
been sufferin from my ed for seven years
ive spent half my life so far just tryin
to get over it but its just so difficult.
Really all you can do for your sister is
hope for her and support her in every way.
You and your sister will be in my
thoughts. Im so sick of what the world is
turning to which is your body idk maybe me
or your sister or any ppl in this forum
wouldn't have this horrible disease if
body image wasn't looked apon as much.
Best of luck in helpin your sister she'll
need it
