    Weight

    Belt buckle tight to hold it all in
    Cellulite bulging the rims
    Should of invested in a girdle to slim

    No respect in self reflection
    Headed in the wrong direction

    From the bed to the chair only half way there
    The Doritos's are spotted, licking lips head nodded
    Bag clenched, now you have got it

    The couch is closer that is where to sit
    Grabbing the remote, and then click
    Scanning the channels to take a pick
    Finishing the entire bag just to get a fix

    No respect in self reflection
    Headed in the wrong direction

    Insisted it was stress that encouraged the binge
    passing the scale began to cringe
    Finally gained enough courage to watch the scale spin
    Now 20 pounds heavier rather then thin

    A lesson has been weighed
    Do not delay until tomorrow
    What can be done today

    Very good write about weight. I struggle with weight gain myself and the foods I love are the worst for me. I look at a bag of Doritos and I gain 10 pounds before the first crunch but I LOVE ME and it took time for me to look at me and say it's okay God made me this way. I wrote "It's Just Me" and "Be Blessed" to define what I see when I look in the mirror.

    Yeah, hun, I know, but fresh chips are better than stale sex. Add in salsa and guacamole and love handles could last forever! Just put down the remote and take a long walk through a park- for 5 miles or so.

    Thankfully I have not gained twenty pounds but there are those days I am lazy. I hate when is two many then all you can do is look back and say to your self I wish I had done more.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
