I know some songs may pertain to different things, but when you have the perspective of anorexia things take on a different meaning. The second song, "Fist of Rage", by Kid Rock is better listened to than reading the words w/o knowing the beat in your head. It's sort of my personal song -- being in the skinny-industry, if you know what I mean. There's sort of two sides to anorexia. One is more of a plead, a cry for help and attention that wants to be loved. The other side is jaded and tormented by inner demons that brings anger instead of the thin-slinking-silouette "outsiders" envision. This is me. Both of them. Two colliding personalities that make one person. A very torn person who rejoices in her own success at defying her innate nature and turns on herself by eating and hating. If anything, anorexia is one of the most amazing psychological paradoxes. -Sally, 17

"Just Wait"
If you ever feeling like you're tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill
I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minutes that you are alone
And is youe suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long
I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
(chorus)
If anything I might have just said has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone
I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace
(chorus 2x)
