An Ugly Weed
i do not wish to stick out
like a weed,
the “fat” one in a group of skinny teens.
a voice tells me to just give up,
however, there’s a wish
that one day
i will be able to be
the most popular one
however,
something tells me
i’ll only, only be
the ugly weed
in this field of dreams.
yes, i may have a friend, or two,
but only heavens knows if they’re real, it’s true,
and something inside
just tells me to hide,
but why don’t i cry?
is there something more?
(no, they all lied…)
just a weed
in this world
of high
expectations,
lonely,
can’t you see?
it’s my
devastation
if only,
if only,
if only,
if only…
i might
be able
to cope
with
emotions,
but someday
all these thoughts
will be
my creation
but it’s just
a lonely
sunday…
(Yet another poem but instead it’s in the form of a vent cause I’m still struggling with the fact of being obese even though I’m trying to fix that)
