I'm gaining years and pounds at an astounding rate. Ugh!


Fat chance

I've lost myself
my small self
who used to
walk around
taking up small
spaces.
But slowly, I have
dissappeared inside
a stranger's body that
has grown constantly wider.
Who does this body think it is?
swallowing me up like this?
I'm lost in here and I cannot get out.
I don't know how I got here.
I only know I want out
But nothing I try
works.

What's a woman to do? Now listen. I know you exercise (workout) and, if you didn't know, muscle weighs more than fat. So you are not fat you are just muscle bound. Oil up the body and strike a pose.

humour it!
the exact same thing has happened to me!
i need to make more space for my body.
i smile wider all the while.
shall we consult on misery
or accept our bicicles?
