Weigh Day

When a number is your everything

Holds more meaning than a name

Holds more names than roayalty

Despite their indeniable fame

 

Better to avoid that number

Dont want to feel the weight

Dont want to be crushed by everything

Nothing there but hate

 

You keep talking about that number

Like it is simply just that

Like its nothing but a figure

It says that im not fat

 

Yet that number isnt thin either

Always bigger than before

Always up on the last time

Whist in still wanting more

 

Shut up about that number

It isn't yours to know

It isn't yours to judge me on

Please just let me go

Numbers do seem to have a Hugh bearing and weight in our lives together with words. But numbers are not always by what we want to be known. A well thought out piece
Nice one
