Flee from this Obesity

by Timothy   Aug 11, 2004


What could the world be,
If I could flee from this obesity?
People do not understand, and they grin,
A man worried about weight? Worried about being thin?

I have been thin, and sometimes I was content,
But this time around, all i feel is contempt;
I have lost seventy pounds in seven weeks,
But I look in the mirror and still feel bleak.

I find flaw in every feature,
Deliver me out of this body, this vile creature!
What could the world be,
If I...if I could...flee from this obesity?

    Umm...yes, i still struggle with my weight a lot. I have up days and down days. I sometimes see only fat, and sometimes i can appreciate the body God has given me. I am not fat per say, i am about 120 lbs, but living in this world of perfection when you are an 18 year old girl is very hard to even be satisfied with that. I am tryign to truly reacy happiness and this summer has helpled alot. I would not know if i could say i am still bulimic, i hafve not purged in over 3 weeks...but the diseaser always comes back to haunt you.
