Echoes Of Hurt
...I ate what was given,
yet still, I grew too much,
my body betrayed me,

“You’re so fat,” you'd say,

a child branded for somethin...

A 98-Pound Weakling
...
A burger with fries that are fit for a king
That's not gonna lose weight you big ding a-ling
For a slimmer bod
Give a negative nod
No junk food, you'll be a 98 pound weakling

Why Ted Is Slimmer
...Don’t you know why Ted is slimmer?
His eyes no more with hopes glimmer:
Had long swum in pools with shimmer,

Plus dreams of m...

What You Like
...What you Like
I’m not dying to die, but like being slimmer,
be free of this overweight body, this harness of humanity.

In the Lea of the Rolling Soft Bends
...In the lea of the rolling soft bends
there’s a spot fills me with a shiver

Ok, so let’s address the elephant in the room
And the issue that does loom

In a letter,
To your mind unfetter:
Your claims of being a pace-setter,
And a neglected go-getter.
Better in a letter,
Your tears make wetter,
A former switch with a latter,

I've grown to be bad but blessed- more of the former

Although triolets are a tiny bit slimmer
And I must admit, the triolet is repetitive
While the dizain rhymes are competitive.

...My strange tears.
The genie's eyes, oh genie's eyes.
Gather the sun's spears.
Be careful not to step on the thistles of fear.

To achieve a slimmer epitome.
