Fucked Over


Overweight

A label that has been brought upon me

By the way I look and the size of my jeans

Because I do not have a BMI of 18.5

Because i have to buy jeans in the size 14

Rather than a size 2 or 4

 

But I should be proud right?

But I should stand up and say I am curvy right?

I should do what?

Yes, the scale is over 100lbs

Just like an EEG can show you I have seizures

 

Society says lose the weight

Doctors say lose the weight

Family members talk about how to lose weight

Google Ads say here is a new trick to lose the weight

 

But then when I am crying my eyes out

Screaming because I just

FUCK

I know it's not healthy okay

I am told to be proud

 

So which one is it?

Huh? Chose?!

Make up your damn mind!
