Slow Torture (overweight)

by Amanda   Mar 16, 2007


Down my throat it goes again
Suffocating mouthfuls deliberately
For depression has taken a tow
And is ten steps ahead of me

Expired dates of photos scorn
As great memories flash before my eyes
Mirrors have become my worst enemy
For my bare body I truly despise

High numbers appear monthly on the scale
So shopping is now my best friend
The X symbol on the tags
Has become my newest trend

Old attire haven't been worn for years
In the closet they remain untouched
Like a born again virgin
A wait for someone's clutch

Men eyes don't wander as before
For my appearance no longer attract
No more asking for my number
They do not want to interact

Not too long ago I was content
Trendy clothes were my fashion style
Now concealed under layers of clothing
For looking nice isn't worthwhile

Down my throat it goes again
Suffocating mouthfuls deliberately
For depression has taken a tow
And is ten steps ahead of me

*I am not saying being thick woman is not beautiful because it truly is but I am not referring to thick in this piece, I am referring to overweight. Thanks for reading.
