Fat Kid

i wrote this in my journey to lose a few pounds

Jus cuz my Mama

Cooked good

Don’t mean that

I don’t look good

 

Short fuse

Attitude

Only friend

Comfort food

 

Mistreated

Misused

Now I have to

Deal with you?

 

The biggest kid in class

Always gets verbally harassed

 

But physically

They wouldn’t dare

They were smart to be scared

Reduced to whispers,
snickers, and stares

 

It’s in my genes!

That’s why  I couldn’t fit in those jeans…

 Damn kids can be mean!

That’s why I had to be mean…

 

Surround sound -Class clown

Everyone heard

 What I had to say

I was quiet for too long

Now it’s time to do things

My way

 

Truly unruly

Bullying the bullies

Not understanding fully

The same thing I’m doing

Is what had been done to

The invisible me

Everything I never wanted to be

 

Best dressed

In high school

Jus to be seen

Everything had to match

And shoes had to be clean

Anybody wearing off-brands

I had to cause a scene

Make sure everyone

Was laughing at them

So they wouldn’t be

Laughing at me

 

Insecurity

 

The route

To the worst

Of these things

Even as an adult

The thought

Still stings

 

In me he will forever live...

 Can’t get rid

Of the emptiness

Of that fat kid

This was very good, and very touching as well. I can somewhat relate to this. I have had trouble breathing in the past so I was put on some medication and it made me gain 120lbs. Its very hard to lose weight and im very glad that you did and that now you dont have that same insecruity. This is a very great poem and I think that it is very awesome that you lost the weight. Have a good day and keep writing great things like this! Never give up!

Good job, I totally know where your coming from on this, I used to be around 450lbs. but after a lot of hard work and working out, got myself down to 220lbs. Went from Lineman to Linebacker, took four years, But when i was big, just like you, I knew i was still sexy, and we know it.
