Motivational Weight Loss Poem

zenfocus

I was thinking about myself and what I'm expecting of myself in my weight loss. I wrote a poem about negative outside influences telling me who and what I should look like and be. I came to the realization that I am me, and I am losing weight for me and me alone! Not to look like a particular image. We have to lose weight for the right reasons, IMO, and everyone's reasons are different.

~*>Of Expectations<*~

I want to live. learn. laugh. cry
be exploding stardust on the interior
of a wind shielded from the storming
refuse of science that can't discover
a recovery from the modern
antithesis cocoon of over-stimulation
scorning recycled redundancy enmeshed
in pages of fashion trashed to the wayside.
Or I will unravel into gravel
gravely paving a way of waves
inching tenderly toward I reach
my inner keeper who keeps kneading
away at the molding outer shell of self-
worth and reliance on the exterior
media feeding frenzy of input – kaput!
Shell of a sellout outlaw lawless
in nature and unkind nurturing
wrought extra-defined unrefined girl
of outside inclusion flew in between
dusk and sunrise instantaneous blue flickering
dimmer than an all-night TV
set of expectations faintly glimmer.
