Healthy Change

We create our own hapinees

No such thing as never-more

But, what fuels us in life?

and what makes us grow?

 

You see, I've never felt alone

And i hope you haven't been there before 

Live out your dreams

And create your own home

 

Dont be a statistic

Obese kid walking out the door

Be optimistic

Change your life forevermore

 

Being obese is not genetic 

And its not societies fault, but your own 

Even though my mothers diabetic 

I create my own path, and thats why i grow

 

17 year-old boy, 280 pounds, 5 months ago

Eating his life away

Hes taking his own

That boy was me, 70 pounds ago

 

I changed my life completely 

And you can do your own

Dont be a statistic

Just know you're not alone.

If i can change someones life with this poem i'd be exteremly greatful.

It's not about the prize, it's about starting a movement for healthy living.

Because its changed my life completely. Theres nothing more that moves me more than inspiration, and if i can help someone reach their goal that'd be the greatest feeling in the world. I know i'm a bad writter, but i hope this touches your soul
