Diet Culture

My smaller friend is bloated and has to announce it My mother-in-law needs shape-wear so her bits fit right Someone I just met, jokes that they forget To eat until it's the middle of the night And I know their worst fear is to look like me And that fact makes me want to kill somebody I'm eating at the counter, and you're talking about your weight I usually don't hate you, but today I'm enraged You look at me with pity, just know I do the same to you What a sad life you live, afraid to gain a pound or two I know that feeling well, and I can always tell When someone is controlled by their food And I know their worst fear is to look like me And that fact makes me want to kill somebody I'm eating at the counter, and you're talking about your weight I usually don't hate you, but today I'm enraged And I know at this point that everybody hates themselves and hates their bodies But I've put in the work, yeah, I've done my time I'm taking up the space that is rightfully mine There's nothing wrong with my body "Fat" is not a dirty word If my body tells me something I will make sure it is heard If my body is a vessel I will give it what it needs I will not betray my body No matter what they think of me There's nothing wrong with my body "Fat" is not a dirty word If my body tells me something I will make sure it is heard If my body is a vessel I will give it what it needs I will not betray my body No matter what they think of me
