If you don’t try to fit in
Your peers will begin
To glare at you
With eyes that say you are diseased and disgusting
If everyone could feel what hurt my soul
If one person could see life through my eyes
They wouldn’t have lasted this long
Life would have exasperated them a long time ago
The strength I withhold simply saturates any number of pounds you can lift
My mentality can override any Politician's act
Fear, I lack
I’m a target because I’m black
A target on my back
A reason for anyone to attack
And they do
So crude
Not knowing what others are going through
Just because you have mommy and daddy issues
Just because your psychological capacity is overriding its
Maximum
Too close to feel pain
People so close can’t feel my pain
Because they will never be in my skin
Never know what it is like to be over a size 10
And I’m barely older than 10
The feeling of being exiled from my peers
Resonates with me today,
Still makes me feel some pain
The greater thing is that I’m stronger in today
Hope has made me Pray
And I know I’m on the break
I’ve stayed consistent from the first day-
I looked in the mirror and knew my weight
Saw my imperfections
I refused to stand by, and become a statistic
Suicide was never an option
Proving people wrong was my only choice and my final decision
