Dignity

by Briana   Feb 16, 2008


My face is chubby and my stomach is fat.
Thats what they tell me everyday.
I let them down with how much i weigh.
I eat too much and don't exercise enough.
I act like the criticize i get is ok.
But really its just a bluff.
When they don't see me eat their more happy.
Life will be better when I'm skinny.
They hate me in my clothes.
They say i get more ugly every time my tummy grows.
But ill hold in my shame just to make them smile.
It wont kill me if i don't eat for a while.
Ill be ok if nobody knows.
Paint on a fake smile to hide my frown.
Soon my chubby body wont be around.
They'll finally be happy, when I'm small.
Their finally gonna think I'm pretty.
Even if my dignity falls.

    This is an amazing poem. soo bitter. i loved it.

    Thats what they tell me everyday.

    ^ who is they????? do "they" matter???? NO. continue to be yourself. it is sooo much more satisfying. i am sure there is somebody in this world who loves you for who you are. even if it seems like the world wants you to change, don't. be who you are. never lose sight of that person.

    thanks for the comment on my poem as well. god bless you.
