That Annoying Friend

Oh fat roll,

How you jiggle when I walk.

Slump, plump, flump.

You make it hard to jump.

I must take a stroll.

At the effort I won't balk.

Feeling like a lump.

I sit down on a stump.

Why must I pay this toll?

Of you I refuse to talk.

Some may think you're a bump -

That thought I just can't dump.

I try to shake the thought of you,

But ever-present you stay.

My mind feels the weight

That my body maintains.

You're that annoying friend I just can't shoo.

Bothering me night and day.

I try not to hate,

But this is the one place I don't want gains.

My reflection says boo.

I push those thoughts away.

It is never too late

To love myself and break free of the chains.
