WARNING: Swearing ahead!

I Want to Eat
By: Shuri
🪶
Always thought my stomach is hungry,
No, bitch! You're just bored.
Always to myself, "Stop, it's not funny!"
But the fridge is a treasure chest,
Eating the gold is a lottery
What's diet? What's exercise?
How to pronounce calorie deficit?
My planner and calendar is on the trash,
I can't track what I'm eating.
Guilty pleasure and adrenaline rush,
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins.
🪶
I want to be thin,
I want to eat.
It's a tug of war inside my mind
Between temptation and will.
Feels like the food is running away from me
Someone just slap me to reality
A stricter reminder to my willpower
"I'll start tomorrow" is just procrastination.
It's easy to gain, it's hard to lose.
Waiting for the time
Where I can't pinch my stomach with fats.
