Chosen Fate

After deciding To skip this one too, Soon enough Her face turned blue. Thinking what damage, Could a skipped meal do? And if one won't, Then so won't two. So she sleeps on this one too. What's a little bit of hunger? Nothing new. But she finds herself in one of her biggest fears, The sound of a siren filling her ears, Red and blue lights blinding her eyes. Accompanied by her mother's cries. Who is wandering back and forth, Wondering how she couldn't have seen, That what the news talked about, Had caught her own teen. But now it's too late. To take back what she said about her weight. To tell her to wear all the dressesshe made her hate. Now it is far too late, To change what her daughter- Chose to be her fate.
