Love Hate Relationship
Trash talk myself in the mirror,
My fat roll is getting bigger.
Quick to judge others,
For my own druthers.
Can’t stand to see,
What is reflected back at me.
I see my double chin,
And wonder when did it begin?
It didn’t happen overnight,
This frightening sight.
My stomach grumbles,
I begin my struggles.
It calls to me, you know you want to eat,
Come get your treat.
I couldn’t resist the taste
I ate it in haste.
I berate myself,
For raiding the snack shelf.
Torn by my desire,
I shouldn’t have eaten prior.
I try not to make it show,
As the shame and depression grow.
