Fat Choice
People
This little poem does not show the seriousness of obesity, but I hope it will touch the heart of many who are in the same place. Next time you see an obese person, don't just dismiss them as fat. For many it is as much of an illness as depression.

Fat Choices
Here I go again
stuffing my face,
I have no need for all of this
such a waste.
I used to have poise and grace
but not anymore,
Now I can barely face you
or going out the door.
Chocolate, potato crisps
are my best friends.
But the weight I gain,
will kill me in the end
I also love fruit,
vegetables too.
But when sitting alone
I really miss you.
Here I go again
making myself sick.
No wonder people stare,
I was as thin as a stick.
Those are days long ago,
when I was a wife.
now I just sit at the computer,
lost thoughts on life.
Here I go again,
stuffing my face.
Loneliness and fear,
live in my place.
Will someone please,
give me the space
to live and learn
and fear in haste.
This lonliness I am
will walk me to the door.
For even I
can’t be sure
As to where life takes me
not anymore.
Here I go again,
stuffing my face.
God grant me the will,
allow me more space.
Before I am too ill
to leave my bed sack.
No one will grieve
because I am too fat.
