What could I have done?
She walks into the room
 Ashamed
 Sad
 Full of anxiety
 
 Everyone is 
 Slender
 Slim
 And skinny
 All she wants is to be like them
 
 When she walks in
 It seems like everyone is staring
 Staring at her stomache
 Staring at her size 2 dress
 That he thinks is too big
 Everyone else looks skinnier
 That's all she wants to be
 Like eveyone else
 
 She's scared and wants to disappear
 Tears sting her eyes
 Running to the bathroom
 She looks in the mirror
 
 All she sees is 
 Ugly and fat
 Nothing like reality
 And all she feels is
 Insecurity
 Sadness
 Scared
 
 She hasn't eaten anything in three days
 Starting to feel dizzy and light headed
 She collapses in the middle of the bathroom
 Waiting for someone to find her
 Bring her to the hospital
 Just like last time
 
 She lays there exhausted
 watching her mom 
 Cry
 And cry
 And cry
 
 As she watches her daughter suffer
 In a hospital bed for the 
 3rd 
 Maybe 4th
 Or 5th
 Time this month
 Who knows?
 She's lost 
 Track
 Hope
 Faith
 Trust
 
 She feels a rush of dizziness
 Eyes roll back
 Her body shakes as
 Doctors rush in
 Trying to save this 14 year old girl
 Then,
 Beep
 Beep
 Beep
 Nothing...
 
 The room goes silent
 No one speaks
 Everyone is full of sadness
 Wondering how it could've gotten this bad
 
 Her mom has given up
 She's not even crying anymore
 Just sitting
 Wishing she could've done something better
 But now her daughters gone 
 FOREVER
