Something inside
wears a devilish smirk,
mocking my healthy living.
It’s seen this cycle
many times before,
but life’s not that forgiving.
Smiling because
it knows my truth
whispering in my ear,
your pleasure lies
in pain my friend,
this act is insincere.
Get up early,
eat an apple,
run a mile or two.
Unless you wipe
me off your heart
self-worth will not accrue.
You don’t believe,
not yet I know,
from here it’s plain to see.
Because I am doubt,
the thing that shouts,
you’re destined for misery.
