"Big-Boned"

Please stop saying

that my extra weight

is just poor willpower 

If you think that

shoveling food past my lips

is a choice

then you're very wrong

I know that eating disorders

have their limitations,

but so do people

If my collar bones weren't balancing 

mental illness as well,

perhaps I could conquer it

But I am not some

battery of sempiternal energy,
I cannot just recharge

at the drop of a hat

So please stop saying

that my extra weight

is just poor willpower

.

Do not give understanding

for one side

of the weight disorder spectrum

and not for the other
