Convo With the Thick Girl in the Mirror!


Because im just not pretty enough, I stand here in the nude trying to love each handle, Each roll that i created i count the marks in hopes that one day ill find one less Maybe just maybe they are getting lighter Some days i hear "your really not that big" on others "just work out a little" well which one is it? Should i love me for what i am or am i too big? make up your damn mind! Confused with mens "i think your beautiful" 's and "Come on let me hit"'s I guess thats why you shouldn't be with any one until you love you! But hell even skinny women think there fat! In that case no woman in the world would be in a relationship! So here i am poking and pulling on what i think needs to disappear! Saying what i think is to big...if i could just lose a little here! Fuck! Why cant i just feel beautiful in my own skin? Fuck a size 3! Whats wrong with a thirteen? There self esteem is most likely just as low! Some times im just too light skinned and on others im burnt! Im dreaming of the one day that i stand in this here mirror and say "Damn I look Good" But lets be honest! No matter how much a woman stands there in the mirror and says that...the way she feels inside just cant possibly match! I think low self esteem is contagious! When your around another woman and she talks positively about the one body part she loves....its all hell when she leaves! All you can think about is why hers looks so good and yours is...well...yours! And you know shes at home doing the same shit! Tryna figure out why you have the perfect ass and she doesnt! Im sick and tired of girls that are thick feeling fat! Fuck that! The world needs thick women or we wont have sexy curves to look at! So Damn it Im cute! Fuck those magazines Fuck the models and Fuck the world! Im a Goddess and imma strut all this thickness cuz its what God gave me, and he dont make no mistakes! Convo completed! Now imma put on my clothes and Vogue!

Hello my name is Ariell. Im a 21 year old young lady from Riverside california who has an intense longing to be heard to be apart of something much bigger then me. I want to help make a difference in this world through poetry! Im not sure why spoken word and poetry appeal to me, maybe its the stories behind each one, maybe its the subliminal messages....either way i have a love for it and can only hope to meet others with the same passion and dreams!

<p>Who cares what people think, If we all cared what people thought, we would always be wrong. &nbsp;I have something to lift your spirits, Baby Blue, Rare Sight, are a few poems that could describe a little about you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jerred</p>

as i'm reading your poem, i can sense the emotion on how you feel very powerfully written and moving be proud of who you are and not allow anybody to change that what matters is how you feel, if you want to change something, then you make that choice, but not on the account of somebody keep writing and perhaps expand on the idea that inspires women who might be going through something similar *check out my poems and see if something i've written you relate to
