145 pounds

A Poem by gypsynight

Weightless

"
145 pounds, and I could not echo a sound.
My dignity bouncing around as if it could break me down,
Into fragments of a person without a shell.

140 pounds, you are not around or anywhere to be found.
My heart dinging and ringing making disgusting beginnings, 
Forgetting that endings will shatter and clutter my heart to pieces,
Of once a being.

135 pounds, your laugh glazing my insides, with things I can not ingest.
My eyes shift to the sky skinning and thinning the colors to dullness,
Creating false laughter in the absence of silence.

130 pounds, but good enough was not worth it,
 Or even able to be seen.
My voice lessening and freshening bad breath,
Filling lungs I wish to forget.

125 pounds, and your still not proud you sit and play God.
My feelings stitching together and weaving a ugly pattern,
of dismay, I can not even recognize myself today.

115 pounds, yet you could not move from bed today,
Afraid of reflections that tease and please your infections.
Your body crumbing and bubbling as you look in the mirror,
You find that you feel the same.

Sometimes pulling off weight from our shoulders doesnt help much and you might feel lighter, but when you felt heavier, you felt the urge to push harder to your goals, now there is nothing to push for. Bring life back in and continue moving forward. None can weigh the feelings held inside
