What I Should Have Become
I used to be petite; the one that was skinny and the best looking one in the family.
But now I grew on a few pounds. I blame my mom and sister for forcing me to eat when I wasn’t hungry.
I always was active, busy, and playing games and sports with my cousins.
But I never got the chance to eat, which kept me in shape.
I once didn't even eat all day because I was having too much fun playing volleyball with my cousins.
But now I have to eat because my appetite is just out of control!
If I could stop this monster then I would have become someone I am not.
I would have been a better me.
I never wanted something like this to happen, even though it’s a minor problem, but it’s a major battle.
But I might change my way of life and my habit of being lazy.
I can’t cheat myself anymore. It’s been too long for this foolishness to continue. But I just can’t win; it’s probably worse than the next War of the Worlds!
But I can use some advice from all my peers.
I won’t deny your wise choices for me.
But I might argue about what you might say.
I used to be in the greatest shape of my life.
But now I am the opposite of what I should have become.
