I'm worthy no matter my size

by Yolanda
(Durban, South Africa)

With a disapproving look
That cuts me to the quick
Do you think that the extra fat
Makes my skin thick?

I see the disdain in your eyes
And I feel my self-loathing rise
I am worthy of love
No matter what my size

So feel free to stare
And pass comments all you can
Shame on you, if that's what it takes to
Make you feel like a man
