Why?


Dear body,

Why must you make me feel this?

When all i do is try to help

Exercise and i get no where

Eat clean and get heavier

Why do you make me feel so insecure?

With your short height

and acne

With the mole on your nose

and the scar on your ankle

Why do i give into you?

Is it what others say?

Is there something wrong with me?

Do I get funny looks

or is it because youre me?

But now

Im taking control

This is my life

My body

So leave me alone!

    Sincerely,

           Your owner
