I'm only a few words away from tears. Even though what I've been doing lately with my eating habits it purely health-motivated--for the most part I have come to like my body the way it is--some days I just get so sick of the fact that I have to work so hard just to make sure I don't end up with diabetes or heart disease. Sometimes it feels like it undermines all the work I've done to be ok with who I am and how I look. Sorry...I didn't mean to go on and on, but I will say that, besides beautiful language, the mark of a good poem is the depth of feeling it brings up in the reader. You may not write the next "great American novel" but your poetry is a great achievement.
