MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Fat Dream’

too fat for a morning jog
too fat for a gym
too fat for a nature’s walk
too fat for a swim

nothing helps to motivate
green shake taste of grass
gym right across the road
tight leggings sign of class

the body growing bigger suit
the mystery of getting lean
the food intake is increasing
no movement to be seen

there are reasons to cry
and yet more to laugh
what brings our satisfaction
being content with half

to eat less to drink more
to think less to love more
to dream less to live more
to sit less to move more

saying that watching the screen
tell me what do I mean
deep down the endless fight
delish food or looking light

recording of the above poetry read by the author
