Lying to Yourself is No Truth

Ever try fitting into a size smaller
Than the size you actually wear...
Struggling to beat the zipper
Or to beat the button to close the your pant...
As you hold your stomach in
While your face turns purple
From the imprisoned breath
Within your mouth
That keeps your diaphragm in place;
Oh, how uncomfortable!!!
But it fits!!!!
Or does it really???
You may have pulled it off...
But for how long?
How long before the button pops...
The zipper stops zipping
And the pain induced on your
Stomach from the tight fit
Causes health issues?
We can try our best to make it fit,
But if it is not you or your size...
You will eventually be
Overcome and defeated.
Oh, it is just a pair of pants...
A skirt or shirt...
It is just a job, relationship and career...
If your trying to fit with someone that is incompatible with you...
Or in a job you don't like at all...
Or in a course for a career
Your heart is not following...
You will eventually be overcome and defeated...
Do not live to deceive
Or live lies of false hopes...
Be honest with yourself
And you will not need to try
And wear a size that you are not.
