how do I look?
How do I know I'm normal?
My doctor says I'm normal.
My Boyfriend says I'm perfect.
I see flaws in a body that I love
But the ugly secret...
It says I'm fat
society sees me only for my muffin top
and though I have an hour glass figure
Society sees the 10+ pounds I "need" to lose
Society sees a walking skeleton and turns away
Society will never be happy
with the beautiful curves
only with the grotesque "Thigh Gaps"
we are society.
We have been programmed
to call each other
"Fat A**" behind closed doors.
and we do...
we
you
I
everyone has drank the Kool-Aid.
Stop and see her for
her smile,
her eyes,
her laugh,
Stop and think about society...

So I wrote this really late in the night because I'm sick of beauty being defined as weighing 110 pound.
