Fast Food Killed Me

As I wake from my slumber

I hear the loud thunder

 Its days like this I reminisce

Of all the fun that I have missed

 

As a child I was always told no

I was told I was too heavy, it felt like a deathblow

I never got to swing on swings

Or even jump on my bedsprings

 

I stop my thoughts cause its time to get ready

My chest is heavy

I drag my legs 

They seem very heavy

 

I look at my reflection

But I don’t see me

I see a girl

Who constantly eats

 

My face is chubby

I’ll never get a hubby

If I changed from the start

Would I be able to look like art?

 

Why do I let myself give in?

To fast food advertisements that always win

I need to escape my thoughts so I head to the car

Trying to go to a place that’s far

 

While I drive I see Ronald

But somehow we end up at McDonalds

I eat my greasy food

In hope that it will brighten my mood

 

The food doesn’t help anything

It just makes me bigger than everything

I say bye to Ronald

And head out McDonalds

 

I’ve gathered my things

But whets that?

I feel a sharp pain

 

Before I knew it, I fell with a thump

Knowing my heart will need a pump

My body will not obey

This could be my very last day

 

Blue and red lights flash around me

I’m in the ambulance

That’s all I know

Will this be the day I go?

 

I’m desperate right now

Its like I’ve been hit with a plow

Clenching my heart

Not knowing where to start

 

I hear murmurs

All around me

But they go away

As I start to fade

 

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Call the doctor!

There is no pulse!

There is no hope

 

I am clothed in white

I think back on my life

If I could I’d go back in time

And I wouldn’t have taken that bite

 

Maybe that would have

Saved my life

I can’t have a redo

I’ll only have people sitting in the pew

 

But who could have blamed me?

For giving in?

It all seemed so right

With each and every bite

 

I am clothed in white

I remember the fright

It will be etched in my head

Cause it was the day my life ended
