#Reflection
this body
isn’t what I want it to be
I see myself as fat,
chubby, thick, heavy
can’t even lose this weight
no matter the diets I try
keto, carb free, protein only,
nothing seems to work
and when I go to the scale
the numbers haunt me
telling me what I already know,
so I quit eating
thinking it’d help lose some of the weight
yet I end up gaining more weight
and a growling stomach,
when I look at fashion models
i begin to wonder-
how come they’re not thick like me
but then the answer hits me
like a storm hitting the shores of an island
I’m perfect the way I am
there’s no reason to change my looks
just so I can please others
this body I see in front of me
is the body I’ve been born with
and it’s the body I’ve come to love
