Rules for Big Girls
Rule #1
Breathe in, don't breathe out.
Suck it in,
You have to look thin.
Rule #2
Wear stripes, they're slimming.
But never wear a bikini to go swimming.
Rule #3
Do not wear crop tops.
God forbid they see the stretch marks or cellulite dots that scatter across your skin,
From when you were thin and began to gain,
to mask the pain.
You built your own armor, a disguise,
To hide all the lies,
But the pain inside shall forever reside in your mind,
It’s unwise to be blind.
Rule #4
Don’t stand out, conform.
Hide what you feel,
Fake happiness until it’s real.
Rule #5
Don’t show skin, too much might make someone uncomfortable.
Nobody wants to see that,
Everybody knows that you’re fat.
You wear that title like a hat.
Act oblivious,
Even though it’s obvious.
Rule #6
Sit in the back of the class,
Hide your embarrassment, blush as they pass..
Fat.
Overweight.
Obese.
People use these to spread hate like a disease.
Rule #7
Don't show them you’re sad.
Do not give them the satisfaction you’ve never had.
Hold your chin up above,
Remember you are loved.
