Center of Attention
December 12, 2017
Her favorite red dress
Tight almost everywhere
Showcasing all her insecurities
But she wouldn’t eat
It started as a seed
Then grew like the plague
Overpowering her
But she wouldn’t eat
Weeks went by
People started whispering
It was getting out of hand
But she wouldn’t eat
Used to be apart of the crowd
Now the center of attention
People were scared
But she wouldn’t eat
Lying in the bed
Surrounded by Machines
Tubes trying to force her
But she wouldn’t eat
Dad was yelling
Mom was crying
She was dying
But she wouldn’t eat
