Weigh Day
When a number is your everything
Holds more meaning than a name
Holds more names than roayalty
Despite their indeniable fame
Better to avoid that number
Dont want to feel the weight
Dont want to be crushed by everything
Nothing there but hate
You keep talking about that number
Like it is simply just that
Like its nothing but a figure
It says that im not fat
Yet that number isnt thin either
Always bigger than before
Always up on the last time
Whist in still wanting more
Shut up about that number
It isn't yours to know
It isn't yours to judge me on
Please just let me go

Numbers do seem to have a Hugh bearing and weight in our lives together with words. But numbers are not always by what we want to be known. A well thought out piece
Nice one
