100 Words: Hidden
Underneath all the years,
The poor choices,
Constant procrastination,
She waits.
The skinny, fit girl,
Who’s often felt but rarely seen,
Waiting to emerge again,
Hopefully.
Blaming her pregnancies,
Was an easy way to deny,
That the damage that has been done,
Is of her own doing.
Her body is getting older,
It’s getting harder to face the facts,
Though one thing’s for certain,
No more carelessness.
She owes it to herself,
To be the best she can be,
Inside and out,
Every breath she takes.
No more will she be hidden.
Come out,
Come out,
Where ever you are.

“Underneath all the years,

Constant procrastination,
She waits.”

Just wow. Can I say that was deep without it sounding all cheesy but instead deep, as in, sincerely? If not, please settle for just wow ;)
