From
Chapter 3 - Friends and Family
'The Girl Across the Room' by
Jasmine
You walk into the room,
I can see from a mile off
That your hips poking out
Are more than just bones showing through,
But distress and unhappiness.
How I wish I could,
Transplant all that is in my head,
All that I learned and went through,
To make you better, to say
It doesn’t have to be like this,
To save you the pain.
You say you’re fine,
I know the truth.
My life has been the happiest ever
Since I recovered:
That is what I would say,
If I could,
If you were able to listen,
If you were ready to hear.
That life without the illness is better than
Life before it all began.
I’m waiting, when you are ready.
Jasmine
