Behind the Soul
Weighted Past
I have been carrying the weight of my past
It’s embedded in my thighs
Trapped around my waist
Causing the early aging on my face
It’s the pain of the past curled in a fist full of candy
Comforted by those unneeded carbohydrates
Leaving me feeling guilty and unloved
It’s cramming down the fears
Feeding my despair attempting to avoid my internal dissatisfaction
One piece at a time
I’ve been stuffing my pain in the late of nights and in the hard winters
Punishing my body for personal failures
Fighting the urges to give into empty cravings
Mindless consumption
Telling myself I can do better tomorrow but tomorrow never comes
So I stash and hide my secret addiction
Thinking that having it close will reduce the desire
Instead it only fuels the need to self-sabotage
Keep me unhealthy
It’s not the food I’m eating
It’s the stress, left over pain,
a broken heart and unresolved emotions cloaked in food
One more chip of sorrow
A slice of self-pity and unconscious binge
Only to end with “damn not again” .......Continue........New Book Coming Soon
