Fat

Yes, this word is worse than

*****

Stupid,

Vapid.

 

Fat means

Unacceptable.

Outcast.

Ugly.

 

And I might have

‘Great legs’

And I might be

‘Thin’

 

But that doesn’t mean

The fear is not there.

It is forced upon us

By everyone

 

Until we are called

Insecure

And the cuts on my arms

Only make that worse

 

But we are also called

Vain

For only trying to love

What we are.
