When I was a little girl
I wanted to disappearI didn't like my bodyI wanted to be skinnyBecause in my eyes all the skinny girls were prettyThen in middle schoolThey called me namesTold me I was fat and fat girls are lameI would go home and cry in my mothers armsTold her how much I wished they'd leave me aloneI hated myselfI wanted to be skinnyBecause in my eyes all the skinny girls were prettyIn high school I was never considered coolMost boys never even looked my wayBut I remember a boy talked to me one dayHe told me that I'd be pretty If I was to ever lose weightI really didn't know how much more I could takeI felt outcasted I didn't have many friendsAll the popular girls were pretty and thinI was sure they didn't want a fat girl in their clickWhen I looked at my reflection it made me sickI didn't like my body I wanted to be skinny because in my eyes all the skinny girls were prettyWhen I went to college my whole life changedI started to find myself I wasn't the sameI stopped caring about what people thinkI had a great group of friends and they all loved meI saw something in myself I never could seeI was beautiful simply by being meI feel in love with myself on the outside and withinI didn't need to be defined by a dime or a tenMy stomach wasn't flat and I was cool with thatMy thighs touchedI had extra meat on my bonesBut to some men that was a turn onMy breasts were big A DD to be exactMy hips were wideBut they were perfect for my sizeMy backside was roundBut that didn't slow me downThey couldn't tell me nothing about MEI embraced every part of my body I carried myself so gracefullyPeople didn't have a choice but to respect meSo regardless of how others define meBig boned, overweight, fat, or chubbyWho are they to judge meI was created in Gods imageThe way he wanted meAnd societies standards are impossible to meetNo I don't have a figure 8 or a coke bottle shapeI got a little jiggle in my thighsI'm as thick as a milkshakeI'm bodacious, voluptuous, sexy, a big beautiful womanSo don't criticize me because I'm not your cup of teaIt takes a real man to handle meAnd im not knocking all the skinny females out hereBecause if that's who you are then why would I darePut you down to make you feel badEspecially after all the insecurities I hadBut don't frown upon me because im not your sizeAnd my confidenceI will not hideI cannot apologize for who I amI will not try to make people understandAnd I don't care about your surgeries or diet plansBecause there's one thing about me you must comprehendI no longer want to be skinny because in my eyes I'M BEAUTIFUL.......not skinny
