Danita Michelle Allen Poet Rhyme

I'M Fasting

Big SIGH... 
Because y'all know the what, 
but you have ABSOLUTELY 
no concept of my why.
And, I don't have time to explain, 
because... I'm FASTING!  
From your misunderstandings, 
and your misguided attempts to "help".  
From your busy body concerns, 
that would be better directed to your whelps.
It's NOT about weight loss 
and, it's NOT really about food. 
I'm FASTING from lack of control, 
and that, Sugar is a whole mood.  
I'm not here for senseless debates... 
I'm FASTING.   
Your trifling gossip either, 
because I'm FASTING. 
Your backhanded compliments? 
I'm FASTING from that too. 
And, if that's how you roll,
you might wanna consider 
FASTING from that too, Boo. 
That means...  
I'm FASTING from your , 
so that I can better focus on my  ....
and for me to do that, 
my focus can't be split.  
So, your petty mess?... 
I'm FASTING. 
You topping off my stress?... 
I'm FASTING. 
You got the "tea"?
Well.... unless it's pertaining to, 
HIS grace, everlasting...  
Don't bring it to me, 
because chances are, 
I'm FASTING.
