Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I finished this today. I fleshed it out a bit..hope you like it. Regards~ Jacque Distal RNY Drs. Fox and Oh Beginning BMI 50.0 Current BMI 21.0 Prejudice I trudge along, always out of step Disgust, derision in furtive glances Never holding doors for me Slamming closed before my face I could never measure up To the perfect woman's form Tell me why it was they cared? Why such prejudice? First of all, I must be lazy Look how I've gone to pot Can such sloth be really clean? " Put that fork down, use your brain! " How could they know of all my diets Beginning at eight-years-old? When SHE said, " you are way too fat! " Destroying my budding self worth. I starved and it hurt just to make HER proud It ruined my growing body How could SHE know, how would I know? Deprivation became my life Outward signs belied How could they understand The profound torment I was feeling wracked in agony? Inside this vile and ugly blob Resides a real live person Who really ever looked to see The more deprived, the more of me? My solution was quite drastic Salvation in a surgeon's knife Rearranging my inward parts Promising a life From this huge confinement " Real me " stepped out For once I would see freedom From this stigma known as obesity Women now look at me Men will even wink Doors are now held open Thin makes me part of the human race? Look now, they do, but do they see Who it is that makes me, me? In my heart, I'm still the same Seems the joke's on them They look, but still they cannot see That fat eight-year-old Still lives inside of me!
