One Stone Down in 2 weeks

Determination after a health scare does it for me

One Stone Down in 2 weeks

One stone down and I’m not done

I’ve only just begun to run

from every scare that dared to warn

this woman’s strength is newly born

Not chasing dreams in dainty shoes

I’ve got the grit I used to lose

this body’s mine — and now it shows

less of me, more fire that glows

No saintly salads, no fake cheer

just fire and facts — I’m shifting gear

each pound I drop, I feel the spark

that dragged me up out of the dark

So say what you like, I set the pace

I’m shifting ground, not running race

from heavy days I start to rise

stone by stone — I cut the ties

No secret tricks, no magic thin

just war declared — and I will win

so mark this now, the start of me

less weight, more will — just wait and see
