A poem I wrote

My new life begins with a lap band placed within

I am nervous and anxious and not sure when

When will I be at goal, when will I be thin?

I tried and tried all my life to please the scales

Yes tried to please them, ate nothing at all but to no avail

My family thinks I’m crazy, some might think I’m lazy

Just diet they say, and you’ll look amazing.

No one understands the pain and anguish of being this way

No one understands the strain it takes to breathe every day

I am thankful for my family and friends you see,

But this choice I’ve chosen is mine and for me.

So be there for me and cheer me on to the finish line

I promise you all I will get there this time!

Oh WOW that was absolutely wonderful. It is so true. You are a poet.

LOL - I wouldn't go that far, but I like to write poems when I am feeling down.....seems to help me.
