Life is about balance
This question ails me
What bears weight?
I find myself shouldering the weight of the dinner I just ate
but more so
the weight of the guilt
I ate too much
the shower water
doesn't wash it away
my stomach balloons in protest
but it doesn't float away
something light in the morning
a walk and a coffee
nature, endorphins, one foot after the other
aid me in lifting the weight
it evaporates into the air with my sweat
my stomach, about to ascend
but suddenly my feet are heavy
my mind bogged down
I eat
Fats Proteins Carbs
balance balance balance
Hydrate Vegetables Fruits
balance balance balance
balance balance balance
balance balance balance
balance balance balance
Why do I still feel so heavy?
