I Am

I am just a mutation of the monstrosity we coined society.

 

I see the knife as it flays at my waist; my skin rejoicing at the idea that soon, SOON I can fit into those jeans he told me I would look good in.

 

I worry for my sister, for all the girls whose mother doesn't realize that Barbie's eyes are manipulating; just another spawn of make-up corporations and his inquisitive mistress.

 

I stand helpless as she submits to voluntary starvation.

 

I watch as she turns her index into a joust.

 

I hear them telling me "Plus size is beautiful", but I don't see nuttin' positive about it. My conscience is just as insulting as the Yoplait I use to substitute my cheesecake.

 

I feel these love handles. They are just fiendin' hands that carry my insecurities.

 

I wonder why drugs rule everything around me, DREAM. They say pop a couple pills y'all.

 

I breathe the propaganda laced air that poisoned my pupil's perception of pretty.

 

I understand this outrage stands no chance against popular demand, but I'm afraid I don't have enough to supply

 

Who am I?
