The Trap

Obese beyond all measure

Held within its trap

The more I see the problem

The more I just relapse

Compounded by a weakness

That says I cannot change

While looking for a scapegoat

To latch on all the blame

This vision you see before you

Isn’t me at all

For I am underneath it

And feeling rather small

For this size it overwhelms me

And there’s just no place to be

A shadow of my former self

From this reality 

The Whispering Sea

Listen can you hear it

The sound of the whispering sea

Bringing tales from far away

To entice and romance thee

Just where upon its journey

Did all these sounds embark

That now exhaust their feelings

On this beach so lost and dark

The moon in all its splendour

Pushed the sea your way

So you could calmly listen

To all it had to say

Its brought you tales from somewhere

That’s truly out of sight

In a language of such beauty

In your heart you know is right

A hint of understanding

Will surely come your way

From the voice of a whispering sea

That at your feet does play

Thought to Ponder – “Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself.”- C Joybell C
