My tummy rumbles rolling
into bed with you, before a big
test and when I think about
my future.

It twists at the thought of
lazy summer days and time away
from school and stress and
sadness.

With new years come
new resolutions and new people
in and out of my life. It comes
with people pandering for
weight loss, new jobs and
fatter wallets.

I sit and stare at the girl with
a sizable waist line, bigger heart
and even bigger brain. I stare at
a girl who works hard for what she
has and harder for the ones
she cares about.
