Fluctuating on the scale
Weighing more than I'd like to tell
Using under garments
To tuck it all in
Don't get too close
Trying to suck this stomach in
Amidst it all, I keep this smile
Although diets are my downfall
Empty promises are what they are
Covering up the bitter scar
Of reality, that I'm no longer a size three
Weight gain isn't a friend to me
Yes, I am older now, this is true
But new clothes are tight and my old ones are too
It betrayed me way past size eight
And I want to avoid reaching size twenty eight
But at this rate
It may be too late
I hate the scale
And the stories it tells
Those numbers
That constantly dwell
Inside my head
And linger on and on
They remind me that I'm no longer young
Pretty soon
It will say something new
Like, "You are obese"
And a "Big mama" now too!
