I can do this
No I can't
Don't say that word
Over again I chant
I bite my lips
Fidget my hands
Sweat dripping everywhere
From that workout dance
Fear shows up
Not now! I say loudly
No more disappointments
I want to be proud of me
Staring at the enemy
The image of a beast
A taunting monster
One I am desperate to beat
I close my eyes
In search for courage
Philippians 4:13
Pops into my storage
I open my eyes
I no longer see my rival
Just a little weight scale
Awaiting my arrival
I step on it
Hoping for the best
To my surprise
The scale says yes
I admire myself
Looking in the mirror
My hard work pays off
I feel superior
This day has come
My appearance and I agree
I have reached my goal
And I love the new me
