 **//With In //** Self image self loathing self denial self betrayal self mutilation ( with in mirrors) self abuse ( with in words ) self acceptance ( with in one self ) self assurance self appraisal remaining true to ones self when one looks in the mirror and see's that true beauty lies within myself. //This poem shows what some people go through who are affected by the media. In the beginning it gives example of how these people feel, then towards the middle and end it shows how you can find happiness with in yourself and be happy with wat you look like, even if it is not what you see in magazines. //  **//Courage// ** by Superchick I told another lie today And I got through this day No one saw through my games I know the right words to say Like "I don't feel well" "I ate before I came"

Then someone tells me how good I look and for a moment For a moment I am happy But when I'm alone No one hears me cry

I need you to know I'm not through the night Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light I need you to know That we'll be okay Together we can make it through another day

I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful The day I chose not to eat What I do know is how I changed my life forever I know I should know better There are days when I'm okay And for a moment For a moment I find hope But there are days when I'm not okay And I need your help So I'm letting go

I need you to know I'm not through the night Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light I need you to know That we'll be okay Together we can make it another day

You should know you're not on your own These secrets are walls that keep us alone I don't know when but I know now Together we'll make it through somehow Together we'll make it through somehow

I need you to know I'm not through the night Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light I need you to know That we'll be okay Together we can make it through another day  //This poem, states a lot about what people with eating disorders go through every day of their lives...as though they are alone...calling for help, but recieving no form of an answer. People believe that they are alone when they have "a sea of people surrounding them (A Cinderella Story {Movie})." People should not feel alone in their lives. Their should always be someone in your corner, to help you, to holdyou up when you fall (if you fall), to guide you... (Giana Castellanos)//

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Many people share the ideas expressed in the following poems and songs. Media influences the idea that people must live up to the standards of what is "skinny" or "thin" to society. This silent struggle among corrupted minds of the media's constant pressures is always being battled with among a vast amount of insecure people in society. This battle with self image is also being fought today and our perception of people is changing now and will keep changing for the better as long as we, as a whole, promote the ideal healthy body with influences in media and websites such as these to help people realize how strong of an impact someone (media) can make. Change needs to be made and successfully, society can become healthy and promote a better wellbeing for struggling sufferers of self image.
