Use To Be

+14

My beauty illuminates the room
Eyes glisten
Boys whisper as though I can’t hear them
So I carefully listen
I can hear the taunts from the other women
They hate my waist to thigh ratio
and my complexion they say
So I lightly smile
They continue to eye me up and down
These where the moments I’ve dreamed of for more than a while
The moments I watched on TV, and movies, and plays
These were the emotions that kept hidden from me
To hear their hates and disgusts with the way I flaunt my perfectly new body
Places happiness in my guts
DO THEY NOT SEE
They all had their chances of joy?
And that I cried ages to feel this good.,, oh boy
DO THEY KNOW
That I begged god to change me?
My figure.
My body.
The one I hated from birth till early 20′s
This body that they envy
Was newly created
Through hard work and dedication
And they want to TAKE AWAY my only moments of fame
So I stop listening
And start enjoying
Dear skinny girl –
This girl that you think is oh so beautiful
Suffered years of torment and pain
From her body so please
Stop abusing her newly profound love
Of flaunting herself to catch up on those missed emotions
Sincerely
‘use to be big girl.’
