This is the face of a girl with mental health issues
The face of a girl trying her best to recover from anorexia and bulimia
This is the face of a girl who has been through depression
And still battles it and anxiety every day
This is the face of a girl who has been through drug addiction and alcoholism
She fights them both every single day
This is the face of a girl who has been as lie as you can go
Who looked death in the face many times
This is the face of a girl who refuses to be beaten
Who no matter what happens, she continues to fight for a better life
This is the face of a girl who has never given up
Even on her darkest days
This is the face of a girl who hated herself
Every single inch of herself
This is the face of a girl who thought she had no future
And wouldn't make it past 25
This is the face of a girl who has sat in deaths waiting room
And knocked on its door many times
This is the face of a girl who tentatively dipped her toe in to recovery
And is doing her best to stay well
This is the face of a girl who thought she was going mad
But now knows she was just ill
This is the face of a girl who thought she was a bad person
But now knows she is not
This is the face of a girl who is afraid
But who takes a leap of faith every single day
This is the face of a girl who was once very very lost
And has just started to find her way
This is the face of a girl who is starting to accept herself
Flaws and all
This is the face of a girl who thought she was ugly, fat and worthless
But now knows that is not true
This is the face of a girl who has been through a lot
But wants to use her experiences to help others
This is the face of a girl who was afraid to be herself
But day by day is liking herself a little bit more
This is the face of a girl who clings to hope Because sometimes that's all she has
This is the face of a girl that won't let her demons beat her
Even when they seem stronger than her
This is the face of a girl who is not afraid to be herself
After years of trying to be someone else
This is the face of a girl who will continue to strive for a better life
And won't ever give up
