What I Am


Every day is the same to me

Comments about my weight you see

I struggle to lose but my spoon wont move from my sweet embrace

Every step I take lands me falling flat on my face

People look at me and laugh

The boys I fall in love with avoid me like I have staph

Hitting college I thought there would be a change

I thought wrong as I got looks as if I was strange

Theres no way to say it other than, "This is me."

Im a human being can't you see?

I may not be skinny,

but the donut I stole from you while you were being distracted and reading this makes me witty.
