And roll myself out of bed,
A lighted number on the scale,
is what I've most come to dread.
When I get up in the morning,
How could that possibly be,
The pound I lost just yesterday,
Has just been increased by three.
When I get up in the morning,
fixated on the mirror,
My once trim figure turned to flab,
It doesn't get much clearer.
When I get up in the morning,
Planned to eat healthy fare,
After throwing out the junk food,
Left all of my cupboards bare.
When I get up in the morning,
And take a delicious bite,
Feeding upon the Word of God,
Good for my soul's appetite.
When I get up in the morning,
Exercise is most daunting,
How many steps to the remote,
Can almost seem quite taunting.
When I get up in the morning,
And I mourn my midlife spread,
I can't handle all the drama,
I think I'll go back to bed.

Instead of saying, "Left all of my", see if you like "It left all my cupboards".
Pretty good poem. Keep writing.
Well done,
