Fluctuating Scales

The last two or is it five kilos,
Keep going up and down, like a blow,

To the ego, this proves that the metabolism,
Is on a perennial break, like a beautiful illusion, almost a prism,

That keeps you hoping against hope,
Almost like gripping onto a slippery rope,

As I popped luscious butter chicken,
With makki di roti for lunch, and then dessert after dessert, like I was grief stricken,

With the seasonal flu,
Not all grief is of the mind, some are of the body, that make us feel blue,

And so I ate,
And I ate,

Like I'd never seen food,
Each morsel lifted my mood,

A chocolate brownie, followed by a Biscoff cheesecake,
That ended with some pakodas and tart, today I'll take a break,

Back to the grind,
I've made up my mind,

It's a Monday morning,
There's no time for mourning,

Breakfast has been skipped,
The mouth will be closed and I'll remain tightlipped.
