Weightless
A poem about human obsession to be thin.
I get into these cycles with my weight,
always feeling like I'm starting a diet too late.
Will I feel comfortable in a bikini by summer?
If I can't wear one, that'd be a bummer.
The vicious battle continues, it's a battle I truly hate.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Great use of the limerick and media pressure makes us think we are all overweight. It is good to be comfortable in your own body. If you are on Facebook please join us in the Vocal Social Society
