Poem describing what it feels like to be battling weight, self hatred, or other life issues.

A life spent unlived

Dreaming of a tomorrow

Just off the horizon

Trying hard to attain the goal

Long-lasting happiness

A life spent unlived

Feeling good when bad feelings abound

Growing, ever growing

Always searching

Never becoming full

A life spent unlived

Climbing uphill

Never free

Longing freedom

Living in a prison

A life spent unlived

Never feeling like I am enough

I keep growing, ever growing

Raging against myself

In a battle I can never win

A life spent unlived

Self-hatred abounds

Because I am not good enough

I must learn to trust

To stop being frightened of myself
