A Body Changing Diet
Eating for garments
always tracking
barcodes
calories
decoding recipes
eating less than enough
food is fun
god knows it used to be
how i miss those days when
i was young and dumb
just being older
knees a bit creakier
life a bit wearier
my body, my tomb
now i know it’s silly
obsessing over vanity
progress pictures repeatedly
questioning half a pound
really it’s brainwashing
say most people reprovingly
they think i don’t know they
use calorie counters as well
vegetables before everything
water swallowed incessantly
xylitol sweetened ice cream
yearning for that sweet number
zero. is that even a size?

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
