Butterfly Being Poem by Chris Goss

The butterfly stroke bearing fairy wings
Was some magical beauty to gladly be seen
This graceful creature hidden burden things
From this life she would no longer sing
And sent her off in surreal surroundings
Anorexia Nervosa took her being
At such a tender age so unfeeling
Her parents bereft for her no longer being
The Observer magazine told the sad story
And she would never ascend from her potential glory
