"Eating Disorders"

Psychology class has stirred me, and I want to address this burden.
In fact, I will use apostrophe to address it in second-person.
You've been terrorizing people; that's a well-known fact.
I am disgusted by your deception in the way that you act.

You're a trick of the devil, a destructive lie, here's you:
"You can't be loved, but here's what you should do.
Stop eating entirely, you eat way too much.
Or eat all you want, simply bring it back up!"

Your intent, your purpose, is not what you say.
You don't care how thin they look, how much they weigh.
I am done talking to disorders, that's weird.
But I hope I have made my first point very clear.

The second point is that there is hope for you yet!
For those of you caught in this burdensome net!
You are loved and cherished no matter your shape!
For God says, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made

In My image, dear child, and I want you to see
That I am the answer. Just call upon me!"
If you're sick of this lifestyle of burdens and pain,
He can lift it all from you and wash every stain.
