Yes and No
Yes, in fact I do know that I’m fat
No, I don’t plan to change for you
Yes, I plan to lose the weight someday, but if you think I owe it to you to do so, then you will never get the satisfaction of holding my hand.
Yes, I’m aware that you think I am mean
No, I don’t care
Yes, I would rather lose you then to allow you to cut me open. I would rather lose you than put poisons in my body. I would rather lose you.
Yes, I know how good I am at losing
No, that doesn’t mean I want to win you over
Yes I am sure and when I say no I mean no, it is not a suggestion of my apprehension it is a promise of my aversion. You do not own me, nor will you ever know me. I am the writer of my own story, the sculptor of my own life, and what kind of artist would I be if I changed a single thing for someone like you.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
