Fat Shame

You think you’re funny yes indeed,
Fat shaming me since birth,
I never quite did fit the mold,
You joked about my girth,
A put down here, a put down there,
As long as you were Queen,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m stronger than you’ve ever been.

You think you’re charming yes indeed,
Your opulence so fine,
Behind closed doors I shook in fear,
You took all that was mine,
And made it all about yourself,
I never once was seen,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m brighter than you’ve ever been.

You think you’re clever yes indeed,
With smug sarcastic wit,
I never really understood,
Nor did I ever fit,
The image that you had of me,
Was simply cold and mean,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m smarter than you’ve ever been.

You think you’re loving yes indeed,
But facts they do sustain,
Your only generosity,
Had motive for your gain,
You wanted the attention,
And without it would demean,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m kinder than you’ve ever been.

You think you’re mighty yes indeed,
Bravado drips your name,
But we both know your truths,
Are tangled lies within a game,
Which only you can follow,
For the rules rarely convene,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m braver than you’ve ever been.

You think you’re sturdy yes indeed,
A rock for those in need,
The problem is your sentiment,
Is narcissistic greed,
A castle built on quicksand,
Where the trauma is foreseen,
But you forgot one thing,
I’m tougher than you’ve ever been.

So hit me with your bullets,
You can fat shame if you like,
But it won’t change the fact,
Your heart is just a rusted spike,
Afraid to be alone at night,
You never were the Queen,
And you forgot one thing,
I’m greater than you’ve ever been.
