INTRODUCTION My name is Caitlin Nolan. I am a licensed social worker and, most importantly, an eating disorder survivor. I’ve struggled with my eating disorder on and off for half of my life. Through the adversity I’ve endured, I’ve developed a love for expressive arts: photography, dance, yoga, music, and poetry—to name but a few. It’s safe to say that I would not be alive and well today without the music of artists that were able to express in words the feelings and experiences that I could not quite articulate. Music and poetry were my voice; they were able to say things that I could not or was not able to say. They made me feel understood, strong, and hopeful. Eventually I grew strong enough in my recovery to find my voice. I began writing my own poetry, some of which you will find in this book. I also created a blog devoted to recovery and resiliency. This book was born out of an assignment for a poetry therapy class I took in graduate school. I opted to devote my sourcebook exclusively to the various aspects of eating disorders and recovery. At the time, I was experiencing the beginning of a relapse. Creating this book was one of the most therapeutic endeavors I’ve ever undertaken. For me, there is so much power in the songs and poems contained in these pages. I hope that they help others the way they have helped me through the darkest of times in my life. After graduate school, I suffered the worst relapse yet. I stumbled and crawled back to my feet, thanks in large part to music and writing. I’ve even incorporated poetry into my therapy sessions, which has been incredibly scary and exciting at the same time. As I healed, I decided to expand this book to incorporate the music that saved my life when it was moist in danger. Because it has been so helpful to me, I want to pass it on to others who are struggling as I did. I want this book to be a living document; therefore, I hope that others who read and draw inspiration from it will contribute some of the songs and poems that inspire them. Together, we can create something beautiful. We can be the light in the dark and the beacon of strength for those who are still struggling. I cannot offer a magic cure for eating disorders; your recovery is your own, and only you can figure out what works for you. What I can offer is hope in the form of poetry and song. Real recovery is possible. I know because I’ve been privileged enough to experience it. Yiur eating disorder will take whatever it can from you. Hold on to hope, even when all you see is darkness. Believe in yourself because you’re stronger than you think. Most importantly, never give up! Fight for your happiness because you deserve it. Fight for your life because there’s so much out there you have yet to experience. And NEVER let the eating disorder be the author of your story. You can decide where the story goes next. This is your beginning. I believe in you.

CHANDELIER Sia

Party girls don't get hurt Can't feel anything, when will I learn I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call" Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell I feel the love, feel the love

[Pre-Chorus] 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count

[Chorus] I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cos I'm just holding on for tonight Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cos I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight

Sun is up, I'm a mess Gotta get out now, gotta run from this Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

[Pre-Chorus] 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

[Chorus] I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

A SCALE, A MIRROR, AND THOSE INDIFFERENT CLOCKS Bright Eyes Here is a scale. Weigh it out and you'll find, easily, More than sufficient doubt that these colors, you see Were picked in advance by some careful hand With an absolute concept of beauty. They are smeared and these blurs come in random order And they color the eyes of your former lovers. Hers were green like July, Except when she cried they were red. Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat. You contract on the day you accept all you see Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be. A reflection of something we're missing. And language just happened. It was never planned. And it's inadequate to describe where I am In the room of my house where the light's never been Waiting for this day to end. And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore Everything that we hate or adore. Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more. So tell me then, what was it for? Oh tell me, what was it for?

DEMONS!Imagine!Dragons!!

When!the!days!are!cold!

When!your!dreams!all!fail!

And!the!ones!we!hail!

Are!the!worst!of!all!

And!the!blood’s!run!stale!

I!wanna!hide!the!truth!

I!wanna!shelter!you!

But!with!the!beast!inside!

There’s!nowhere!we!can!hide!

No!matter!what!we!breed!

We!still!are!made!of!greed!

This!is!my!kingdom!come!

When!you!feel!my!heat!

Look!into!my!eyes!

It’s!where!my!demons!hide!(x2)!

Don’t!get!too!close!

It’s!dark!inside!

It’s!where!my!demons!hide!(x2)!

!

At!the!curtain’s!call!

It's!the!last!of!all!

When!the!lights!fade!out!

All!the!sinners!crawl!

So!they!dug!your!grave!

And!the!masquerade!

Will!come!calling!out!

At!the!mess!you!made!

Don't!wanna!let!you!down!

But!I!am!hell!bound!

Though!this!is!all!for!you!

Don't!wanna!hide!the!truth!

No!matter!what!we!breed!

We!still!are!made!of!greed!

(Chorus)!

They!say!it's!what!you!make!

It's!woven!in!my!soul!

YOU CAN’T WIN Kelly Clarkson

If you go, they'll say you're following If you don't, then you're too good for them If you smile, you must be ignorant If you don't, what's your problem If you're down, so ungrateful And if you're happy, why so selfish? You can't win no, you can't win no

[Chorus] The one who doesn't quite fit in Under dressed under your skin Oh a walking disaster Every time you try to fly you end up fallin' Out of line Oh you can't, you can't win no

If you're thin, call it a walkin' disease If you're not, they're all screamin' obese If you're straight, why aren't you married yet? If you're gay, why aren't you waving a flag? If it's wrong, you'll never hit If it's right, you'll always miss You can't win, no you can't win no

[Chorus]

And you try you try so hard But I swear it on your heart And you play you play the game But you pay you pay for it You can't win no, you can't win no

If you speak, you'll only piss them off If you don't, you're another robot If you stop, they'll just say you quit If you don't, you might lose your shh You can't win no, you can't win no You can't win no

[Chorus]

I can't win

EYES OPEN Taylor Swift

Everybody's waiting Everybody's watching Even when you're sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open

The tricky thing Is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers Just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords But now we've stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands and keeps score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open

So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you'd make it this far But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now But you've got something they don't Yeah you've got something they don't You've just gotta keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes

Keep your feet ready Heartbeat steady Keep your eyes open Keep your aim locked The night goes dark Keep your eyes open

(Keep your ey-eyes open [4x])

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open


Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open

LIFE’S FOR THE LIVING Passenger

Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rub toes Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows Dressed in their suits and their boots Well they all look the same

I took myself down to the cafe to find all The boys lost in books and crackling vinyl And carved out a poem above the urinal that read Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living Get what you need and give what you're given Life's for the living so live it Or you're better off dead

While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall

While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains And we all had new iPhone's but no one had no one to call

And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living Get what you need and give what you're given Life's for the living so live it Or you're better off dead

Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage They take your dreams down and stick them in storage You can have them back son when you've paid off Your mortgage and loans Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway Someday someone must be going my way home

Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living Get what you need and give what you're given You know life's for the living so live it Or you're better off dead

Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living Get what you need and give what you're given


Life's for the living so live it Or you're better off dead

A!long!December!and!there's!reason!to!believe!!

I!can't!remember!the!last!thing!that!you!said!as!you!were!leaving!!

Oh!the!days!go!by!so!fast!

!

And!it's!one!more!day!up!in!the!canyons!!

And!it's!one!more!night!in!Hollywood!

If!you!think!that!I!could!be!forgiven!!

I!wish!you!would!!

(Na!na!na,!etc.!yeah)!

!

The!smell!of!hospitals!in!winter!!

And!it's!one!more!day!up!in!the!canyons!

And!it's!one!more!night!in!Hollywood!!

If!you!think!you!might!come!to!California!

I!think!you!should!!

(Na!na!na,!etc.!yeah)!

I!guess!the!winter!makes!you!laugh!a!little!slower!

Makes!you!talk!a!little!lower!about!the!things!you!could!not!show!her!!

And!it's!been!a!long!December!and!there's!reason!to!believe!

Maybe!this!year!will!be!better!than!the!last!!

I!can't!remember!all!the!times!I!tried!to!tell!myself!!

To!hold!on!to!these!moments!as!they!pass!!

And!it's!one!more!day!up!in!the!canyon!!
