The Cookie She Eats

The Cookies She Eats





There once was a girl


Who for every joy & sorrow


        Ate a cookie.





For every happiness & light


      A cookie she ate.


For every sadness & despair


      A cookie comforted her.





The little girl grew


      As little girls do


Until she became


            round & short


  Just like the cookies she ate.





The little girl is now a woman


    Who for every joy & sorrow


Eats a cookie.





And just like the little girl


          She was,


The woman remains


        Short & round like


      The cookies she eats.








This poem is me but I am trying to change it. I lost 25lbs last year and have lost 12lbs since the start of the year. I'm exercising more. I'm tired of being short and round. Wish me luck or say a prayer. I need the help.
