“The disdain I receive from being overweight. It makes me sad, but I want to help.”
i am aware that i am fat
thank you for your observation
you are not the first person to say that
now, here is some more affirmation
the first time my heart broke
was because of a boy i hate
he told me that i should do coke
to get rid of this weight; the tears dried my eyes shut
i promised myself i would make a change
yet, there was a shortcut
and it may have been a little strange
so, i skipped meals every night
to see if a single pound would shed
my pants stopped being tight
and i developed an eating disorder instead
people fear what they don’t understand
and being overweight is among them
yet, i have the upper hand
because i do not baselessly condemn
i would never tell you that your nose is long
or that you have a weird name
i know right from wrong
can you say the same?
to the people out there,
who cry at the thought of being fat:
don’t ever fall into the pit of helpless despair
you are worth so much more than that.
