The weight of everyone on my weight.


It may sound weird to you, but not to me.

This girl once said that I was way too thin.

How could a person tell you what to be?

They don't know you, or where you've ever been.

Now who sets standards for human beings?

Your size or build does not even matter.

What person comes up with these awful things.

Who cares if I'm not a little fatter?

Anorexia could be partially

An excuse made by my society.

I'm just saying not to judge so harshly

Because I ensure my sobriety.

Next time you try and criticize my weight

Just know that hate does not help with my state.
