I try to make myself feel small
For the times
When people stare
For the times
When I would have to ask
To use a different size of chair
I try to keep the judgments of others
Locked within the dressing room
I could not use
Since the racks are all without an X
Except an overrated pair of shoes
I try to say I am not in hunger
Despite the crying of my gut
To hear people telling me
To stop grazing
Thinking it would be easy overnight
I try to go to the gym
And beat my heart out
And bear some weights
Even until my limbs give up
No pain no gain they say
I try everyday
Even if others do not notice
Even if other do not know
For I am aware of the consequences
But I just hope my feats will show
After all the trying
What I believe is this
That it takes time to not be agitated
By the people who look like sticks
For the stones they kept on throwing
Compels me to continue to try
But not for the benefit of others
But for the life that I call mine
