Poetry: Heavy and light

by Jessica Abell

Created on: July 07, 2010

The woes of dieting

It a yo-yo world

Just trying to find the skinny me

In this heavy set girl

I eat and I eat

And consume all the food I see

Trying to find which diet

Will result in a lighter me

Will it be pills?

Will it be drops?

Will it be aerobics

That makes my body flop?

Can I do it,

Eat less and exercise?

I seem to get nowhere

With my thousands of tries

I’m so tired of being heavy

In this skinny girl world

Where is the lighter me?

I want to set her free and let her twirl.
