I can’t be delicate, small, sad-looking and innerly folding, my legs will never oragami-fold themselves over my tired tired fat chest   . I am blessed to be big, though my *** is a curse, how it juts and forces itself to be known by peoples’ eyes and rudely introduces itself to chairs, knick knacks, anything unfortunate enough to exist within its gargantuan wake  . I am blessed to be huge but small, I am blessed to warmly ******* and spill my flesh over everything I touch & taste; I am forced to give myself up to the world, to give my huge body up as comfort to the multitudes of humans I love and crave and want and dream up because they will never find me small and cowered, will never offer their bodies to comfort mine, assuming instead that my huge warmth can sustain its own flame . My own body can’t contain the sad swells and lovely lakes that surge and bash against its own hide  --- - --- that’s why my stretch marks leak and tendril their way around my arms, my belly folds, my underloved thighs, and I wonder why we both want to tender my fire to a low smolder and let it fade out do we think that trees with thick lush, curved and pink foliage are somehow whole-er than trees with paperthin leaves? my bark still craves the sun, which sometimes comes in the form of human flesh

((this happens)) the doctor says, well let’s weigh you n see if you’ve lost the weight I told you to lose before remember Sharol now Sharol..,,,, sweety….. you weigh 55.62 lbs over the state-set “healthy limit”k, so we’re just gonna give u these diet pills & I promise they work,. all nach-yer-awl u see, none of that waterweight ******** [! excuse my language] and in about 3 months you’ll lose half that overweight, and I promise the starsll go away and you’ll feel right tip top okay now that’ll be $60 & come bac k in a month to tell me how much you’ve lost okay haha but that’s alrightright? she was unhealthy & doctors make you healthy only her brain cancer maybe, or like, colon cancer or literally anything other obesity kills her in about 3 months bc the **** doctor would only pretend that she cared what was wrong with Sharol, sweety…,,, im sharol and so are you and so is your uncle & so is your mother, probably because most of us are “obese” & the only cure for obesity is the cure for the term “obesity” you see
