Each pound gained
my stake in 'pretty' waned
in societies tiny frame
of what's pretty
and what is shamed.

Each pound gained
my stake in 'pretty' waned
in societies tiny frame
of what's pretty
and what is shamed.
Sometimes I convince myself my worth is based on the scale, but if I lost twenty pounds that would not make me twenty pounds 'prettier', and appearance does not define you.
