I pushed you too far You pushed for me But you wouldn’t let me go down that path any longer I thought you failed me You only did it out of love I got sick You were unable to fight it off You weren't weak You didn’t have another choice You fainted Hands that saw your true beauty that I couldn’t see caught you. Dad caught you. You became frail You became pale Doctors saw illness Needles pricked in you Tests were taken
But I saw beauty That still needed “more” progress
I will not let myself go down that path again
Thank you You taught me love You taught me acceptance You taught me that eating is a form of self respect I want to grow with you
