My Worse Enemy

I've had a problem with you for years,
Why do you bother me so?

You feel so good at the time
But are so very bad for me.

You come when I am weak
And leave when I am strong,

I am so much happier when you are away
And would love to never see you again.

It's such hard work making you leave,
And then keeping you away is even harder.

Why do you torment me?
I know you are there even before I see you.

People talk about you all the time,
And I know everything about you.

So, why do I keep dreaming of a life without you?

Some people make peace with you,
But I'm too stubborn to give in to your ways.

I know what to do,
I just need inner strength,
And perserverance the rest of my life.

Yes, I want to be slim again someday.
Goodbye to you, Fat, my worse enemy!
