I've told you once

Glaring pit fires in
the heart of a raging tornado.
Love is the sea.

I've told you once I've told you twice
If I've told you a hundred times
I've told you thrice

Why wont it come off?
Why wont it come off?

You say it'll go away in time but
I've always had this parasitic twin
I kill myself each day and each night
I don't starve myself like some say to do
I watch what I eat but sometimes it's hard
I walk the treadmill with all my might

Why wont it come off?
Why wont it come off?

I don't have the money to diet right
I don't have the money for a membership card
Why are some born with a natural physique when
Others get the short end of the stick?

Why wont it come off?
Why wont it come off?

I'm sick to my stomach and sick
to my brain
With the thought of being uncomfortable in my own domain
I want what I want and I want it now
I shouldn't have to wait anymore
I'm 21 years old and have never been thin
I have no confidence and feel like a cow
Some might look at me and grin from ear to ear
"You aren't as bad off as some"
I'm not "some"...I am me.
I deserve to love myself.

Why wont it come off?
Why wont it come off...?
*sigh*
I have been battling myself lately. Waging war between who I am and who I've become because I'm overweight and who I know I am beneath the weight.

I am so sick and tired of being overweight with no help. My family isn't financially grand, and that's OK but it's hard when you want to go on a diet and can't afford the products. It's asinine. I can't do it by myself. I have a treadmill that I use, but it isn't enough because the food I eat --yes I monitor it--doesn't allow for great weight-loss.

It's so hard going day to day being a "burden on society" because that's all an overweight person is...a bother to the "thins" and they're constantly pushing weight-loss products and foods on you through ads on TV/radio/magazines/books/wherever but none of it is affordable so what's the point? As I was flipping through the channels on TV this afternoon, you know what I saw? A food commercial or show from channel 35 (Food Network--this is excusable because that's what they focus on--) through channel 40 (Nickelodeon). No wonder society is fat; unhealthy food is constantly pushed in our faces, brainwashing us to go out and BUY BUY BUY and get FAT FAT FAT and because of that it depresses people so, guess what, they DO go out and eat! It's unbelievable. And that's exactly what I wanted to do, too! I wanted to go out and BUY something because it made me hungry...luckily I'm stuck here at home with no way of going out (lol)

What is also depressing, is my friend is going to have a baby and my mother, cousin and I have been shopping for gifts for her baby shower (yaay! baby stuff is cute :meow:), but...eh...I am always afraid that an old woman or someone is going to come up to me and being completely serious, ask "when are you due?" T_T That would...I don't even know what I would do in a situation like that.

This poem, I suppose, doesn't really make sense, or maybe it does, but I'm too "blah" to really give a shit crap today.
