a little girl who was once
thin grew up
and turned to this
thick teenager.

scared to wear clothes that
reveals too much skin
that reveals how thick
she is.

complimenting herself
everyday because she knows
no one will,
yet they all think she's
over the hill.

now she's growing up
full of questions
no one can answer,
as they left her
no options but
to stay silent.
