A Pound

Struggles, starving to loss every pound Wishing my pants would start to fall down Weighing myself everyday Hoping a pound has gone away At the gym everyday Exercising, sweating paving the way Once again praying Pounds are not staying Standing on the scale Dreading the weighing Dreams of clothes fitting right Hugging my body tight Cookies, cake, your mouth is watering, your will is weak Your tummy is growling, like you have not ate in a week My mind, my heart are not at rest As I put my body through this test Will I raise, will I fall Can’t I lose a pound at all Off to the mail I will go To buy myself all new clothes
