The Overweight Me Pt.3

New year, a new start. Started writing early into the new year.

Here we are, a week into the new year,

I have things of note, but nothing big to cheer.

I gave myself a sort of fresh start,

Try and eat better, and no soda to start.

I am not who I want to be,

I'm still trapped inside the overweight me.

There's a better version of me, waiting to get out,

Hiding beneath the layers of fat, fear, and self doubt.

I think I am ready, finally ready to make a choice,

To do right by me, start to listen to my inner voice.

It has been screaming inside for some time now,

I should've to listened, I just didn't know how.

My ears are open, it's time I listen to me,

Change the hate in the mirror, to something I like to see.

It hasn't been healthy for me physically or emotionally,

To hate myself because of the overweight me.

I know I should feel better about myself, despite my size,

But I am not happy, I put on a facade, I'm tired of the lies.

I say it's time to commit, that it's time I try,

Why won't I just do it? I mean seriously why!?

I go around and around, without ever seeming to begin,

It's like if this was a race, I'm tripping myself so I don't win.

Still working on this one. But I would love your input on what I have so far. It's always appreciated.
