Doesn't She Know?

She is a changed person
or at least she thought she was.
We all thought she was.
What has happened to her?
Has she fallen so far,
that she cannot get back?
Is she just so confused,
so disoriented, that she doesn't know
where she can turn to for help?
Doesn't she know?

Is her image so distorted, that she can't see
the Truth?
She is not the same as she was:
this is true.
Some ulterior motive has brought her to this place.
Doesn't she realize that?
Doesn't she know?

Is this just a game she likes to play?
To see how much less can be eaten today.
She certainly had come a very long way,
from the previous ailment that turned her away.
But look now at what has happened to her.
She thought she was better. She thought she was fine,
but when she finally did pry open her eyes,
she saw the truth which nearly blinded her.
Doesn't she know that what she has done,
has made her so frail, so delicate, so small?
Doesn't she know that what she has done could easily have killed her
had she not opened her eyes?
Doesn't she know?

Now that she has become a "changed" person,
don't you think that the voices would stop?
She says that they have, and that she is alright,
but when she looks at herself in the mirror,
when she gazes at a full plate of food,
why do they still come back?
She thought that she would ruin it all
if she had just taken one bite.
That is why she continued to pressure herself
into eating but once a day.
Of course there were days when the weather was nice
nice enough even to eat,
but when she did, the guilt took over
and she had to rollerblade seventeen miles.
But doesn't she know that the way that she was,
was not the best way to do what she did?
Doesn't she know?

I know it is not easy to understand
the thoughts that take control of her head.
But listen now,
try to understand
that what she has become
is not that of her own doing.
Doesn't she know there is a way out?
There is one up there that surely can help.
Doesn't she know there is someone that cares?
There is someone up there that truly does care.
Doesn't she know that when she is lost, there is always
one she can turn to?
There is someone up there she can turn to.
There is a special one up there.
He does love, and He does care,
He will always be there.
All she has to do is take a step
toward the right direction,
Ask Him in,
and to take over her life,
just as this disease has done before.
It's as easy as that.
Doesn't she know that everything can be normal?
Doesn't she know that the disease
that had once consumed her life,
could be gone in just one easy step?
The step to eternal life?

Doesn't she know?
