PlusA Poem by Sarah FlaniganI'm so tired of being told that I can't wear bright patterns and colors because of my size. Society tells me to love my body and then cringes at the sight of me walking on campus in shorts. I'm told that my body is nothing to be ashamed of and yet, the plus-sized section of the store is always shoved in the back corner. My own mother has even turned into a fat shamer. She's always offering to buy gym memberships for me. It's like she can't believe that I'm actually okay with the body I have. I am finally confident with the skin I'm in. It has taken me years to realize this, but I am 100% perfect, just the way I am. And I will not let anyone convince me otherwise, those days are over. If you don't like it, I'm sorry that I'm not sorry.
