Ok, I am an amature writer, so I am going to share this poem I wrote this morning! Hope you all like it!

Disrobed...

A fool's security blanket,

once draped across my body.

Unhealthy, unhappy, and feeling unbeautiful.

A mask of my own making, of my own destruction.

Each pound weighing the body and the soul.

Freeing as it falls away.

A new choice, a new life.

Beginning a new journey.

My body no longer my enemy,

this is a war I will win.

And here I stand, emotions raw---

disrobed and no longer ashamed.

Beautiful Brandy---made me tear up.....it says it like it is.

Methinks you will not be amatuer for long---you capture a feeling with words, and that takes talent.

Have anymore? But maybe you should wait until they can't be stolen and claimed by another someone out in cyber space....no one here on LBT!!!

The poem says it all!! It is very revealing and truthful. I agree. You won't be a amateur for long.

I love it!!!!!

Yay, I love writing poems too, mine are cheezy, but I like to put my feelins down in poetry.....Here is one that I wrote about getting the lap-band (you have to know that my family is against it, and I have stopped telling people about it, my DH is the only one who knows how far I have come to getting the surgery)

My new life begins with a lab 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!

Sunshine I think you wrote a great poem. I am a closet bander too, only a few know. Only mom & dad in my family so I understand.

Beautiful Brandy---made me tear up.....it says it like it is.

Methinks you will not be amatuer for long---you capture a feeling with words, and that takes talent.

Have anymore? But maybe you should wait until they can't be stolen and claimed by another someone out in cyber space....no one here on LBT!!!

Thank you Kat. I have more, but I am afraid they will get legs. And most of my writing is down to my core so very emotional, and can be actually hard to read for some people. If you want I can pm some more if you need a good cry!

You go Gals!!!! Great poems!
