Let me apologize

Let me apologize, to begin with because of my body type.

I will NEVER be good enough for anyone to date due to current 'hype.'

You know, the battle of 'bones' vs curves?

Just let me inflate myself to the  right number so I can properly serve

As the perfect specimen for your delicate eyes.

Obviously no one is good enough unless they've got decent thighs.

 

But just wait a god **** minute, because here I am again:

So let me apologize, to begin with, if I offend

You or your friends who think they're too good

To date someone size zero with some extra love under the hood.

How many times have I heard you exclaim in disgust

Of how large she is and how you'd drown in her,

If you even got near her? I saw you shaking in fear.

From your head to your toes, you were trembling dear.

 

See I'm told to eat less and maybe, just maybe

But if I was skinny, and let's tell the truth,

You'd be so disgusted by my looks .

 

I could eat a salad and still gain a pound ,

She could eat a salad and the crunch is the only sound

You hear a mile away and yet you would assume

That burgers and French fries is all that she consumed.

Do you ever stop to think, ladies and gents?

The true beauty of someone isn't based on the number on their pants.

 

So, let me apologize, to begin with,

If I bruise your massive ego,

But the way to tell if she's the perfect woman is not by your libido

Notes

I’ve always been insecure about my size and how I look. I still am ... I don’t think I’ll ever be able to love myself .. but I’m trying to. It takes a lot of self love, confidence and courage to stand up to someone who calls you out.
