Cast Adrift

I stand on the scales
In my diabetic nurse’s office
Dreading the digital reading
Before me.

Like a young child
Called into the Principal's office
Not knowing why
She was sent.

Quick glance downwards
As the decisive moment
Whether or not
I have met my goal.

As I drift
Further away
On the sea of self-hatred
No shore in sight.

No hope of ever seeing
That elusive place
Of inner peace
By me.

This one cuts to the bone and makes you feel the pain.
Your a great writer. You should put a book out.
