Poetry Post: Keep Calm and Carry On

I've lost the "f" in the un
of my employment.
My belt is finding notches
I've never needed.
I am losing weight
I didn't know I had.

The place I live holds
no more surprises.
I've collected the dust bunnies
in all the out of the way corners.

I'd exercise myself
into a healthy state of mind,
but I can't afford
to burn the calories.
My shoes don't have
very much sole left,
I don't want to waste it
pacing out my insecurities.

I just want to catch a break.
Give me a chance
and I'll find a way
to help fix it.
I'm tired of holding my breath
until I'm sure I should
have given up days ago.
