I stand in front of my reflection, on the side I pretend that I can't see my big thighs No, there isn't a dome of skin! I'm just big ***** I'm sure that's not a sin... People whisper about me behind my back Saying that I'm overweight, ugly, FAT. Their words jab at me, eyes piercing through my skin Why does society favour those who are thin? I wear baggy tops, to cover my shame Stare at magazines with skinny girls who get all the fame Skinny limbs, like twigs, that you could snap With just one touch, and a stomach that's flat. Full lips, Round hips and big eyes Slender necks and gaps between thighs Smiles that curve upwards in a half moon sign Bright white teeth. At least, brighter than mine. A body that's an expectation in today's society And if you don't have it, you're lower in the hierarchy I say I love myself, but it's all a lie "Oh my God, if I looked like them I think I'd die!" For breakfast i'll have nothing at all If I keep this up, by next week I'll be small At Lunch time i'll have left overs from before I can't help myself craving more For Dinner i'll have a bite of tea then it's off to the toilet to regurgitate with glee I convince myself that this is what I want To be puking my way up to the very top I'll lift up my arms to show everyone and sing! At how tiny my waist is, and how I look bare thin. And how utterly ridiculous this all is. I don't judge a book by how many pages The thicker the better, and the longer it wages So why can't I be loved for my perks? Last time I checked I wasn't a pretentious **** So what if my smile doesn't face up the whole way Why should I care about what you say? My freckles are ugly, my face is spotty I couldn't care less if my whole body was dotty My hips aren't small, my waist is tall Why does this fact make you so appalled? There is no gap between my thighs You wouldn't look, so don't even try Makeup is a choice, it's not forced down your throat People treat it like a religion, some cure, a new hope Paint won't make you look any prettier, honey It gives you self-esteem, that's good, but stop wasting your money My arms are hairy, my fingers are wide I don't judge a personality based on a size I DON'T CONFORM TO SOCIETIES RULES! If I didn't mean that, then why would I say it at all?
