Is it worth it?

Is it?

Those extra pounds,

Those “Unneeded bites”,

Those lazy days being

alright.

For a new found freedom,

For a true image seen,

For life to be the perfect dream.

Is it worth the fight,

The sleepless nights,

The cried out eyes,

Will that be alright?

To accept my body

no matter what it be.

To become the person

I’m meant to be.

Is it worth the pain going

on in my brain?

For memories with the ones

I love,

For energy to travel or to run.

Is all this dismay

worth it

so I can say

I love myself

In my very own way.
