A New Love I made


Unfit I was, high school started. Scared of words, I suffered Months of hunger, I chose Not small enough, I continued. At a time where anorexia played a factor, Words from others became a fear. Despite my shape, I was tired To be this skinny was not worth it. At the edge of death, it was time to change. A goal to get bigger Determined, time was not a concern. Eating right, I began my journey So weak, frustration was near, I could only keep pushing. Long months of struggle, a year was here While others relaxed, I found a way to create stress To find the smallest gain kept me from fear. A new love I made, Now, staying strong for three years Body building changed my life.

<p>The favorite part of writing this poem is when I&nbsp;knowledged my hard work over the past few years. I am truly satisified of my gains and look forward to see what my future holds.</p>
