I remember when the sun soared high over the green grass of my lawn
I remember sitting, pondering
why was I so different
I sat in my chair, slouched
Thick
clotted
cream
dolloped around my thighs.
Wound beneath my butt
like bacon wrapped shrimp
salty, good, and dripping in grease.
Gnaws through jeans
grinds through tights.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, or it lays in the eyes of normalcy places upon culture athat is whitewashed. Little Duckling you are not "traditional", compared to your pure and white siblings. One day you'll stand with them and frolick in

There plunks another silver wish,
Down into my depths with a swish,
Whispers of love and wealth catch my ears,
My feet may be a bit long and I may not have a thigh gap, but that doesn't mean that my legs aren't smokin' hot
I may have love handles and a muffin top, but these curves are more than your love can handle
Looking in the distance
Towards the judgemental figures
Hiding in the crowd from their cruel jokes
Eyes like fire burning your skin from your bone
I need a different kind of love story...
Okay, so here's the synopsis:
A girl meets a boy
And then questions her self worth
When he looks her up and down
And his eyes pause on her short skirt
Show me the part
In your scripture
Where it reads
"The female shan't carry hair in her pits."
Show me the picture
Of hairless legs
And straightened locks
And bared nether regions
I spend hours in front of it.
Criticizing everything.
My thighs are too big.
My stomach isn't flat.
My boobs aren't huge and my butt certainly isn't.
My lips aren't plump.
My hair isn't long enough.
People say
Fat Shaming is wrong.
But while they bring people up
Who just eat because they "can't control themselves"
and tell them that that's what "Real women" look like,
When that really isn't the case.
As a young woman it seems my body serves threat to my soul.
My body making up me; unqiue.
Curved and straight and flat and wide and thin and all, is my own.
