Light as a feather.

Light as a feather.

Stiff as a board.

Stiff as a board.

Light as a board.

Stiff as a feather.

I want to levitate.

I want to levitate.

Must limit my caloric intake.

Must limit my caloric intake.

I want to limit my caloric intake.

Must levitate!

I need to weigh less.

I need to weigh less.

Then, I will be beautiful.

Then, I will be beautiful.

I need to be less.

I will then weigh beautiful.

As a stiff board,

I must weigh less—

limit my caloric intake.

Then, light as a feather,

I need to levitate.

I want to be beautiful.

Tina D. Lopez

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
