today she will make a goal and achieve it, her health on the line

the tightrope might bend, but it will not break

for the sun is hot, but her drive for change is a fire that burns deep

so the slow burn begins

the time for change is here and it is in the form of a girl who weighs 330 lbs

so the steady loss begins, the scales begin to tip

she will achieve, conquer, and defeat the tired days and the hard days

it is a steady fight

so no more waiting, wishing, or wondering when she'll get there

because she's already on her way

maybe the gym is intimidating, but so is living a life where you wither away

so she tips the scale

walks a mile in shoes that have waited a lifetime to be filled

and see's her future in the horizon.
