Carry That Weight

by Startle Me   May 20, 2007


Weight she carries on her chest,
Within her thighs and legs as well.
Unattractiveness means harder time,
Beauty and slenderness does excel.

Perfection is to be the unachievable,
Meaning to be the beauty and the geek.
Nevertheless, this lady will achieve it
Excellence this woman will seek.

Although, as hard as she might try,
Has not yet come close to the goal.
Something she seeks within herself,
This woman does not yet feel whole.

Incompetent feeling does not resign,
Above the surface this sensation lies.
False smiles does not work for her,
For this woman has no disguise.

She will carry this burden on her shoulder,
In her mind and in her thighs as well.
Large objects she would hide behind in,
Until realized beauty does not always excel.

    I can relate to this. Maybe for this reason i was even more intrested in reading it. The title makes the reader ask loads of questions. What could you mean by tbis weight? Is it weight literally. Or is a weight of trouble s/he carries? It makes the reader want to know what the poems about and so they read on. You again extend this feeling of kinda confusedness in the first two lines. The firsat line we feel as thought its a weight as in a burden. Yet the secound line makes us think.. is the poem about eating disorders or soemthing ismilar? Then you go on to say things like "perfection" and stuff like that. This make me relate it back to anorexia. So this poem, well i can take numerous meaningd from it. And i really enjoyed this about it. the fact that you can take numerous meanings form it. Enjoyable read. Keep it up! xx
