Many have treated me like I am one of the ideal girls People pertain to in comments such as "I feel invisible when she is around" or "The girl who has it all — from boys to body" Society constantly presents those different from Me to be the image of insecurity Those very much bigger than me Those whose arms sag more than mine Those whose faces are not structured like mine And at this point Many, if not everyone Would think I am being Heartless & cruel Describing these women Who are different from me As if it is only their right To feel insecure As if it is my responsibility To feel good about myself To look at the mirror And see a flat stomach A nice 27-inch waistline And feel content As if I have no right To complain To complain about all bones No ***** No right to complain about eating so much For the sake of at least looking healthy They make my figure look like the ideal I do not want to be the ideal I should not be the ideal.
