One Stone Down in 2 weeks
Determination after a health scare does it for me

One Stone Down in 2 weeks
One stone down and I’m not done
I’ve only just begun to run
from every scare that dared to warn
this woman’s strength is newly born
Not chasing dreams in dainty shoes
I’ve got the grit I used to lose
this body’s mine — and now it shows
less of me, more fire that glows
No saintly salads, no fake cheer
just fire and facts — I’m shifting gear
each pound I drop, I feel the spark
that dragged me up out of the dark
So say what you like, I set the pace
I’m shifting ground, not running race
from heavy days I start to rise
stone by stone — I cut the ties
No secret tricks, no magic thin
just war declared — and I will win
so mark this now, the start of me
less weight, more will — just wait and see
