i am that man

i am that man.

or i've become him, anyway,

the fact is i had no idea this would be happening, yesterday,

my views of self perception seem,

to make me see i'm not so lean...

although i eat everything that i can see

is that whats made this pig of me?

i never tried

i never thought

i never knew

i always fought

the perception that i'd see of me,

was one of poise and dignity,

but i see now, i was misunderstood,

thinking all the time that i looked good!
today i did it,

that awful thing,

i sucked my gut in

so that the kids couldn't see,

my fat belly protruding over

no belt, so jeans i was tripping over,

my gut was huge

i couldn't let

them see the pig i am,

and then they'd get

that smirk, that glow

they could say about me,

"he's that big fat guy 

sucking in so i can't see,

his big fat belly, protruding oh so glamerously!"

i stopped,
i stammered,
i rose, then fell,
i had gone, no detours,
all the way to hell.
and there i was
a big fat pig...
his gut his thighs, his chins, his big
fat tremendous amounts of skin,
then i stood back,
perplexed,
where the hell had i just been?
i looked down,
took a breath,
threw my head back,
and then guesses,
i'd put on more
 than i needed to,
so now it's time,
get back in check,
cause presentation,
is where it's at.
