Poem: i once knew a girl of average height
but she never had an appetite
it's no wonder that she was so thin
when i'd find her food tossed in the bin
she had blonde hair with a pretty face
i wish she was here still to embrace
one day at school she stood and fell
i had no idea anorexia made her unwell
i still remember the day that she died
i remember her funeral where her parents cried
i wish i could have helped her somehow
then she might have still been here now
for some reason i feel it was my fault
she died too young, not even an adult...
