I Lost It
What happened to my willpower?
Where has it gone?
What happened to my restraint?
It’s been much too long.
For five months straight I was going strong,
Now here I am singing a loser’s song.
Please, strength, please, please return.
I need you, I promise,
I still have many calories to burn.
For the month of December,
I completely lost my mind.
For many days, there wasn’t
A Dish I left behind.
Plates and plates of food—
Pile by pile, I chewed, loved, ate.
Now all I feel is hate, hate, hate.
“I can’t, I won’t,” to myself I quietly muttered.
But that was before I saw the rolls freshly buttered.
Oh where, oh where has my resistance gone?
I’m getting pretty weary of singing that song
