Heavy
As heavy as a brick to mortar, I weigh
I can't hide it, jokes won't take it away
My mind is fine with it, why aren't others?
Feeling fat and alone I have no muster
No more fight for the battle of the bulge
I want to let go and smudge
As ugly as that brick here I stand
Porous and crude, can catch no man
I try and fight the feelings of doubt
I feel so ugly and unwanted here out
A pest to most and myself it's true
Most won't say it so as to not be cruel
How can I live this way and be happy?
I can't do it, and that's just real sappy

Elisabeth Stover 1995
