What if the thoughts never developed
If I could leave them in the dark room
Better yet still on their film roll
What if I could take each step
Without words knocking on the back of my teeth

What does shame look like?
A desperation
To be young
To be wild
To be as desireable as she once was
Be so ******* for real with yourself babe
You’re not aging gracefully until you accept your age

Tinted glasses
In a lightless room
She reaches and grabs where she can
But it’s always a shallow effort
Transactional love

But that’s not the love I want to receive
I want to know you trust me
I want to feel you support me
Not take and take and take

I learn to cut the strings for people who are great at wasting my time.
But I mourn each thread of the girl I used to be.
The little girl who hugged lonely looking people in the grocery store.

Unfortunately once I hate you
It’s infinite
It grows and furls in every space of my mind
Unfortunately once I love you
I’m bound to hate you

What they never tell you about loosing weight
Is that you feel each piece leave
There is a tangible feeling of less protection  
Maybe society is so afraid of fat because they know the truth
Fat people wear their armor 24/7

Lately I feel like a bird with wet wings
In theory I have the freedom of the skies
But I’m stuck on the ground
