Ten. One. Zero.
It’s been a month, and no change yet,
I look in the mirror, I’m still upset.
Even though the scale won’t lie,
I feel so fat, it makes me cry.
Ten. One. Zero.
Pounds lost. Months. Size.
I’m happy when I do not eat,
And if I do, I feel defeat.
It’s safe to say, my life’s consumed,
And frequently, I feel I’m doomed.
Ten. One. Zero.
Pounds lost. Months. Size.
I assure myself, that I’m ok,
That I could stop this, any day.
I find myself, telling you the same,
Yet I can’t escape, this dangerous game.
Ten. One. Zero.
Pounds lost. Months. Size.
I don’t need help, you hear me say,
Not from you, anyway.
But if that’s true, then why am I
Less ten pounds,
In one month,
A size zero.
A big problem.
Ten. One. Zero.
