I was always told I was
Pretty for a
Fat Girl
The Words always echoed in my mind
Creating it more of an insult than anything
A slap in the face

I constantly scroll through Twitter
Searching for my dose of “news”
All I can find are
“Thinspirations”

Toned
Thin
Tan
Women Preaching about how
Healthy they are
But no one
Ever
Tells them
They are pretty for a
Thin girl

I have always been told that the mass of my body
Determines how healthy I am
But studies have shown there is no
Correlation

Beauty and health are not only skin deep
I am so much more
More than the mass of my
Flesh

I am that girl
Who cares about what she gives than what she gets
Who would rather make her friends laugh than to see them cry
I am that girl that wants to be so much more
Because I am so much more
Than pretty for a
Fat girl
