Stupid Little Numbers

Numbers Numbers i tell myself Nothing to be afraid of Silly little numbers on a box Its like that joke: Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9 Well when i 8 everything in sight It was the numbers that scared me 7 and all the rest of them "Hey..." my mother would say: Did you see how many calories? Yeah, 500 calories, i know How many cookies did you have?!? Well, ummm, about 6... Did you gain weight? Yes, but only 2 pounds You're only supposed to have 1 serving! Well, mother, if i want 10 servings then i will have 10 fucking servings Since when do numbers matter? They only count the bad stuff There is no number to show that although i like food, i am healthy No number to show happiness No number to express they way i feel when i bite into a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie And there is especially no fucking number to show how much i wish i could cook and eat with you, without seeing that disapproving look in your eye So fuck you Fuck all those people who make me hate numbers NO ONE can number happiness

This is really powerful and really well written!! Very easy to relate to as well. Happiness IS what is most important in life in my opinion. Why do people have to be so darn judgemental?? Nobody asked them!!
