fatgirl dancing

by Ravyn LaRue

I am fatgirl dancing

dancing for she knows

the world would rather she stay still

though that is not acceptable

I will dance in the fountains

of the hopeful home that betrayed me

and I will dance any and everywhere else

since defying laws of gravity

and flying through the atmosphere

are powerful things that scare the world

and on its own it makes me happy

I am fatgirl dancing
