Overweight

Being overweight

Is deciding which

Skin

You show

For your

Body

Plays games

When it

Knows

You’re

Un-comfortability

It makes you

Choose

Legs

Or

Arms

For

Covering everything

Will make you

Sweat

And

Smell

And leave

You

With a worse

Regret

And then

When

You finally

Find the

Perfect

Outfit

To cover

Those

Imperfections

You find yourself

Apologizing

To those

Who compliment you

Or find you attractive

You apologize they

Didn’t meet you when

You had a body

Society loved

But you didn’t

So you explain

And show photos

Of a past you

Not long ago

So “don’t worry”

I’ll get it back

I’ll be beautiful again

And this skin

Will be

Wearable

And when they

Don’t call you back

You can’t tell

If it really was your body

Or your visible insecurities

Your persistent need

To turn the lights off

And fuck from behind

So you couldn’t see your

Rolls looking back at you

As he entered what was meant to

Be sacred

But you’re out of touch

Out of pleasure

Out of passion

Out of COMPASSION

You spent so much time

Searching for enlightenment

An outer body experience

And when you came back

You forgot to love the flesh

You were temporarily given

So instead of making excuses

For the lack of love

You feel from everyone

Around you

Focus on the love

You deserve

And need

To give

Constantly

To yourself

For being

Overweight

Is just a word

You have given

Weight to

And you

Know

How to

Take care

Of her.
