Sit there and take it all?
Or sit, ignore it, and let others have it
I don't know what to say anymore.
Days, weeks, months, years?
How long? How long, sitting on shifting sand?
Can I, Should I, Will I?
Always running through my head.
Does it work or does it fail.
Put the effort to stand up
Yet get pushed down
Family, friends, colleagues.
They may never know
I don't know how to put it into words.
So it is all inside
Along with unneeded weight of the world
Can I, Should I, Will I...
Put it down?
This is a poem that I put together after my older cousin commented about my weight while we were eating. It was written on May 2, 2011. I'm a very insecure person about my weight and I have struggled with it over the years. However slowly but surely I have changed my eating habits, I've even become vegetarian and the only animal proteins that I eat are fish and eggs.
