Rev. Catherine Cassell Poet Rhyme

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.

Kim Rodrigues June 23, 2023 at 6:00 AM Look in the mirror and love who you are now. I know the struggle. At the end of the day, I am thanking God for all the people I saw and talked to, thanking God for all that I did accomplish. May God bring peace and contentment as you learn to follow His lead. Love ya, Sis-in-Christ. Great writing! Love when people are real! Rev. Catherine Cassell June 23, 2023 at 8:03 AM Thank you Kim. It is definetly a daily struggle. I pray for release of the negative thoughts so I can concentrate more on letting my light show.
