Fat

*sigh*

Weighing me, weighing me down

Runrunrun

Or

Starvestarvestarve

Who cares how you get there?

It’s a place with so many different

Interconnected roads

That only we seem to understand

That only

The desperate can walk

Or run

Or jog

 

Suck it in

God just

FIT

Please

It looked so good

On those models out there

 

You aren’t a size 9

A 6 or 4 or 2

 

Fatass

How could anyone like you?

 

Oh look, there she goes

Eating again

Spit it out, fat girl

Or are you the

‘eat your feelings’ type?

Pathetic

 

-not every girl is

built the same

genetics

not every girl can

be the same

so why are we trying?

 

You’re down and feelin’ like

Maybe you just aren’t good enough

You aren’t worth two cents

Being the way you are

 

And no matter how much you lose

You’re never going to be

The way you want

Because sooner or later

What you have and you get

Won’t be enough

No, no, it’s

Never going to be

Enough.

 

You, you’ll always be fat

You let it define you

You let all the times they

Pushed you down

And laughed

And made you hurt

You let it surround you

You let it sink in

So it’s never enough

It’s never f*****g enough.

 

 

Author's Note

Whatever >.< Ever feel completely hopeless? .-. Just review, let me know what you think. It's a vent, so I don't plan on changing much, but if you have some good insights I might.

Really, this is just about ALL girls and the pressures we're under today, but a part of it is about myself too. I think that if we weren't given this image of what women are "supposed" to look like when we're young, then we wouldn't feel like shit when it came to ourselves. Everyone thinks there's something wrong with them, even if there isn't. It's horrible.

With the whole world being programmed from an early age as to what 'normal' is...it is really hard to have a good self image anymore. (I speak from experience, and am still struggling to accept my body even now).
I wish i had the perfect words to say that would make life, self image, and everything else easier, however there arent any. Learn to love yourself, accept that somethings can be worked on, and do what you can to be healthy/happy. Dont worry so much about the rest of the world, those skinny models have eating dissorders, and are probably miserable in a different way due to the pressure of staying mannequin thin. Have a piece of chocolate and rejoice that you dont have those pressures:)!!

I liked this alot and I think it's sad how if you have a little meat on you the world looks down on you .. To me hollywood gives us this image that being bone thin is in but I think the whole image thing can corrupt ones mind and cause things such as anorexia, social anxiety , depression so I think it's ok to teach healty ways of living but I think they have taken it to the extreme sometimes we need to realize what is inside your heart matters too... Nice job on this !!!

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

I agree with this. I have been under pressure by my Mom because of my weight...but that's because we are going on a cruise. My sisters always bug me...but I don't care what they have to say...they make me think I'm a loser...cause of how I am....and well I bet people tease me all of the time because of it and I just hate when people judge me cause of my weight...It makes me feel bad inside and I feel like I'm a bad person...thanks for sharing. Nice ranting poem.

I totally get this, I hate it! (not the poem, how girls are obsessed with weight). I mean I'm just under the average UK size (which is 16) at size 12/14 and at my school it's like any girl who's larger than a 6 is fat! I mean what the f**k is that all about! I also blame..... wait for it..... BARBIE DOLLS!!!! Think about it every little girl gows up with Barbie or some sort of doll who we think is perfect and who we think we should all be like so when small girls winde up finding out the hard way that they just won't look like that they go on diets and are never content with the way they physically are!

Anyway sorry about the rant, this is really good and you're emotion for the piece shows clearly.

Amazing Write =D

[Bud]

Yes to your question in the Author's Note. I think you express your emotions very well. Of course you already know that. It's a shame that our society has never learned the lessons concerning labeling and stereotyping. And in this case it certainly destroys many lives. What the media advertises is hardly attainable. We have taken modern technologies and projected what 'they' say is the perfect look. There's nothing natural about it. And it's a near impossibility to have that look and be healthy. Just ask all who have died trying to get there.
Outstanding piece.

[BLACKCRUSH]

I liked the way you eased into this poem from a emotional stand point. This piece is also angry but I think it has every right to be.America's obessesion with weight is outta control. I liked the part in your piece " you aren't a size 9 a 6 or 4 or a 2" That really hit me. Eating and weight are a huge stuggle for alot of girls. This was a great write , another one of my favs.

[loveneverdies]

I really like this,
Good job it is beautifully written.

[DamienHino]

You hear the desperation for acceptance of who you really are. So much anger and honesty in this piece but you still couldn't tell the difference because it was still peotry at it's best...or maybe that's just be liking emotion and honesty to jump out at me. well great job, women struggle with this too often which is sad and unfair.
