I am done
I am done hearing this
The stuff about my weight
My weight being "too much"
That my dream isn't real because of my weight

How do you say to a guy 
4x your size
Not tall but wide
That you are done with the criticism?
That you should take your own advice first

I don't know how to say it
Without getting grounded for using my voice
Because, I guess, his opinions are fact now

But I don't care, anymore
He can keep his opinion of me to himself
Because if I have to keep mine shut
He can too

Ok, I can be slow sometimes
But doesn't mean I need to outrun you
Ok, I can't bench a lot of weight
Doesn't me I need to do an exercise program

You tell me I need better self-esteem
But you also tell me I need to lose weight
Thank you but no
I refuse your request
I refuse to let you do this to me
To say one thing good and the next degrading
I am done...ok?
Ok...
That's good.
(of course he never got to read this)
