Weight

You know it’s not healthy,

You tell yourself to stop.

You just need to eat,

You need to take care of yourself.

No matter how much you say it,

You just can’t do it.

You say you want to lose the weight,

You say it’ll be fine once you’re ‘skinny’.

You tell yourself you’re fine,

Just because no one else notices.

You don’t lose the weight fast enough,

You start to work out.

Nothing seems to be helping,

You try to just talk about it.

You try to get help,

But no one seems to notice.

You just need more time,

The weight on the scale will go down.

You just want to feel pretty again,

You just want to loose the weight.

That’s what you tell yourself daily,

When your stomach growls.

You ignore it,

You think it’s healthy.

You’re losing weight,

You’re getting tired.

You’re losing energy,

You’ve lost the weight.
