The first time I was fat shamed it didn't seem to hurt that much,
Or maybe it did I was just trying to be tough.
The first time I was fat shamed I stood in disbelief
that someone could say something like that so brief.
The words rolled out of his mouth
Like he was so uncouth.
I remembered that comment for days on end,
like he was playing a game of pretend.
Years went by without another shame,
Yet that one still remained.
And just the other day it happened again,
I was left feeling even more ashamed.
This time the words were
Like a blade that left me aware ,
of the hurt and hatred I had taken in.
Left me with the feeling like I was not thin.
Whale played over and over again in my head,
As I walked along to the whale noises that people said.
I stayed curled up inside my bed
Feeling to unwell to lift my head.
I was ashamed of who I had become!
I had let myself drift away.
I begged people to stop
And just to say hey
Yet all that seemed to happen left me even more ashamed.
Dear people who fat shame me today,
Just know I'll remember this day.
Your karma is coming
Served to you on a plate.
All dished in ones sins,
and staked like ***** tins.
She who is Karma is my best friend
She will put all of this to an end.
And to all the other people who are shamed ...
Just remember you are not to blame.
You should not think any less of yourself
Because someone does not know oneself.
Do not let what society thinks of you dim your self worth and shift your whole earth.
You are who you are and never ever let that change.
Dear people who have fat shamed me
I am the queen bee
Untouched and unashamed
Do not let me reestablish this game!
This poem is where it all started. This is the very first poem I ever decided to write.
