Fat

Fat, fat, fat.

All I see is fat.

I am the "chunkiest", the "chubbiest", the "roundest" and the "ugly pig".

I might as well be a rat, the biggest of the big.

 

Fat, fat, fat,

All I see is fat.

I am "just right", "average", "normal" or "perfect size."

They lie every single time, and hell, just 'like that'.

 

Fat, fat, fat,

All I see is fat.

I am "too skinny!", "I wish I looked like you", "wow! Size zero jeans?!" and "underweight".

Yet, I refuse to touch this cold, stocked plate.

 

Fat, fat, fat,

All I see is fat.

I am "awful", "dying", Miss "eat something" and "throne of bones".

Yet, this body will never be my souls rightful home.

 

Fat, fat, fat.

All I ever will be is fat.

Even in a long gown and stuck to the end of an I.V pole,

With doctors and psychatrists and loved ones crying and begging me to just "recover, please come home!"

 

I am still fat.

 

 

The hospital bed is empty,

My bed is left untouched,

There is a silence as the wearers in black all sob and stare silently at the body in the ground.

Devasted and hushed...

 

I see them, but can no longer speak.

No longer able to feel, no longer live,

Forced to watch time pass and hearts mourn...

Their days now heartbroken and bleak.

 

My  best friend doesn't speak, she now sits alone,

My mother sobs every night, family reminded

so often of my presence,

The one who secrelty loved me has loved no more,

Even my pets still wait outside my door.

 

Those who knew me, only can remember me in the things left behind,

Even the sun itself rarely shines.

 

 

Dead, lost, gone.

I am no longer fat,

But I also no longer- belong.
