A New Armor for the Exterior, Brings Growth to the Interior.
To the naked eye her beauty does not come to the surface
But to her her beauty is deep
It’s easy to say that her face is chic
But what about the rest of herself that she brings
Her body is a temple
A temple it is
But who would believe that at the first glance?
See her body was built on many humps and hills
Underneath those lumps and humps
Are sturdy structures that never seem to fail her
Especially as she races down the hallway
Her own personal hell
Her beckoning call has no sweetness or sap
“Hey fat bitch”
Yeah she’s all that
All day she’ll her the echos in her head
As she sorts through what hurts her the most
Fat she is
But is that what they hate?
Bitch she is not but is that what they think?
She’ll toss her thoughts around all day coming to the conclusion that the world hates her more than it did yesterday
To simply explain that the first thing she thought of being in life wasn’t fat
Well call that absurd
And if she could lose it all today
She’d give it all up in exchange for her mind
She has no safe haven
She rushes to her bus at the end of the day
Only to see
The same guys
The same seats
The same grief
One of them likes her
She suffers for his feelings
The constant whispers and giggles
She hears her name
Over and over
To speak up...just to be shut down
Forget it “fat bitch”
Her only solace is her short walk home
Where she tosses her thoughts around
“I am hated for being created. I am hated for my exterior.”
“No one dares to speak to me in a matter of respect because it was lost at the door. I am stuck in a world that will hate me…before I even speak?”
You got it “fat bitch”
Arriving home her heart sings as she opens the door
The blue truck in the driveway is a dead giveaway that her father is home
“Daddy!”
She runs to him and gives him a great big hug
He smiles down at her
“How did I ever make such a pretty baby…”
A kiss shower ensues
She laughs as my heart swells
Someone loves her too
As the image in her head begins to fade
She is awaken in the night by her reality
Daddy
Always telling her what she needed to hear
Even in death our souls are still connected
“If his love can reach me from above then it must be true.”
I am still me
But I have new armor
Walking into school
I strut my stuff
“Hey Wassup…”
“And don’t you dare call me a fat bitch!”
