I haven't posted in a while...I am back in school and all the writing I seem to do is for school...blarg. I am taking a poetry class for my one last required Humanities class and find myself loving it. I am writing poetry left and right...and mostly during wee hours of the morning when I SHOULD be sleeping or in other classes when I SHOULD be listening...oops. But I wanted to share this one with you~ May your paths be easy today, your burden light <3
Surrender
Feet pounding the pavement, I run for all I’m worth.
(Since that is all I am worth)
A number, a mileage, a weight on
the scale
Be faster, be smarter, be skinnier than a rail.
Smaller than her? Tinnier than that?
All I see staring back at me, all I feel…
Is fat.
This is no laughing matter, it’s no mental trick
I loathe every cell, the sight makes me sick
You told me all I’m worth is the size of my waist
In that case, I’m down for the count, in for the chase.
This is no longer a game, I will win first place in this race.
Mile one flew by, followed by root marker three.
And before she knew it, she was sprinting free
Free from the comments, the pressures, the stares
Throwing all caution to the wind, shrugging off all of her cares
The miles kept on passing, time flying by
Don’t stop now sweet girl, for if you do you might die.
But if you don’t, well then my dear, of this I am certain.
You will not make the final scene, life shall draw the last curtain.
Thus, each day I straddle the imaginary line
Between life, so uncomfortable, and death so divine.
Carry on now brave soldier, keep up the good fight
Your burden is oh so heavy, but His yoke is easy n’ light.
Forgiven is the word tattooed on your wrist
Don’t ever say, “When I’m gone I won’t even be missed.”
Your life is worth something, it was everything to me.
I already paid the price, I died on that tree.
“This isn’t going to be easy, God, I’m scared to death can’t you see!”
“All you can do is your best,” He replies.
“Just let go and trust me.”
