Poem Title:
Poem
I tell you now the things I’m guilty of. Too fond of food and having fun am I! Watching movies all day long I love, and also eating’s such a joy. Oh my! I used to eat as if there were no end to what I could consume (when I was young), but childhood fled. My teen years weren’t my friend. I had to lessen pleasure to taste buds on my tongue. I learned to exercise and also to count calories. The struggle never stops. I lose weight then I gain it back. Boo hoo! I feel so rotten when a button pops! Healthfully I eat now to prevent the dreaded cancer coming back to me. Some pounds came back, and right now I lament that once again I count each calorie! I can’t stop watching movies, and I know I need to write some poems or prepare my classes. Teaching though I could forego. I’d rather lie ‘round in my underwear! I do believe in God and in being kind, but also like so much my having fun! Church bores me, so I seldom feed my mind with Scriptures that pertain to our Lord’s Son. You’ll go to either Heaven or Hell, some say. But I like being me. Not each routine of mine’s a Saint’s, yet each day I do pray. I hope the next life has spots in-between! I've often dealt with trials that I dislike. And one more thing about me. It is hard for me to tell someone to take a hike! Instead I’m nice and give them my regard. I really cannot change my situation. My husband can be rude, but I’m a door mat. I’m faithful, so I’m his for the duration. It’s quite the fix I’m in and that is that. Jan. 11, 2023 For Sotto Poet's Revealing Your Soul And Other Tension Poetry Contest
