Skinny
Your words were thorns pricking my body
"eat a cheeseburger"
"you'll dissapear if you turn sideways"
skinny ankles
a small wrist
and skinny arms
a list of the things you would call out.
Your words were insults to me
I can't change my weight.
I even ate that cheeseburger you told me to eat
it didn't make a difference.
I should not be called out for my weight. I should not be offended because of my body.
If I love my body, why can't you?
Love all bodies equally.
