Too Fat to Be Me

I looked for me ofttimes

She looked at me always

As much as I abhorred her

She was always there

I was slim

She was fat

But she came from inside

***

Once I thought she inhabited the mirror

But each time I looked for me

I saw her instead

***

She was my mind

I couldn’t leave her behind

She was mine

Even when she was so shy

She loved when we chatted alone

She was my friend

And I was her worst confidence

***

I hated her

But I loved her more even

She kept me alive

But wanted me dead sooner

I became her

Though she was inside

***

I saw her fat

But she made me think I was

Around I was told slim

Inside I was but fat

She was me

I thought she knew me better

***

I glanced at the mirror

And she glanced at me

She became my eyes

I saw fat everywhere

***

I realized I was genius

Cause she gave me her eyes

Therefore

I gifted her my slim body
