Don't Sing It!

There's still plenty of time for all of us to overcompensate. ~ Peggy Hill on King of the Hill

Everyone swings like a pendulum do
furious, jealous then brushing off you.
Fear driven tantrums then sooth it with food
stuff yourself senseless to smother the mood.

Take off the poundage near starving to death
running a marathon panting for breath
life's not worth living an ounce over goal
after I finish this luscious cheese roll.

Up a stone and one more, three sizes higher
I hate myself so much just stuck in this mire.
Look at me beat it, this diet's the one
but I forego it before three days are done.

Everyone swings like a pendulum do
I thought it forever, would swear it was true.
Normies don't swing one way then back the next
This fat brain can't do what the whole world expects.
