I don’t talk about this much

Simply because

People don’t understand

And they judge out of their blissful ignorance

You have never been overweight

A day in your life

Yet you try to chide for taking the “easy way” out

Are you sure?

I think it’s much easier to be a smaller size

And to never be discriminated or bullied

Because of numbers on a scale

To have better choices for fashion

To be able to ride all the rollercoasters

To be comfortable with the lap belts in an airplane

But my opinion doesn’t count because I’m fat, right?

Even if I was to wear “fat” as a badge of pride,

It would irk you that I am starting to discard it

Working hard to shed your label

And break your box

Because I’m clever like a fox

I know that your mouth of knives

Is powered by a furnace of insecurity

All you have left to build yourself up

Is to try and tear me down

So go head

Talk about my looks

If it helps you sleep at night

Because my looks can and will change

But…what about you?
