calories, fats,
watch those carbs, honey
love handles, muffin tops
this body is a masterpiece of
fat, lumpy, heavy
a lack of self control

a burger with extra fries,
straight to the ass with interest
this body is a bank of weight
invest a little here, honey
what’s another pant size up?

chubby cheeks that blind with a smile
rotund globules of last night’s gorge
what’s another pint of ice cream?
what’s another dateless night?
better make that two, honey
self-esteem doesn’t come without a price

bring on another batch, mother dearest
your little girl just isn’t big enough
there’s still room to split the seam in 4th period
what’s another dose of misery? self loathing?
butter up that muffin top, buttercup
there’s still enough spirit left to break
