Ounces & Pounds

Stepping on the scale again, 

the disappointment never ends. 

I said:

"Maybe, just maybe 

if I were skinny, 

then maybe, just maybe

 someone would love me."

Then someone came along and said to me:

"You don't see in you what I want you too;

You only ever see what you've turned yourself into.

 Not skin and bones, just ounces and pounds.

You may think I'm crazy, but please tell me: how?

how will you ever recover if you're 6 feet underground?"

That changed my life forever.
