No, You\'re beautiful.

I say ‘I’m Fat’

You say ‘ No, you’re beautiful’

I wonder Why can I not be both?  ~ Rachel Wiley. 

 

These thoughts cramp my mind every night and day. 

Why does level of attraction rely on what you weigh. 

These thoughts crush my confidence every day and night.

‘PLUS SIZE’ Models are meant to make me feel alright?

But their ‘plus size’ consists of a size ten.

The media is uncomfortable with the truth again. 

The media portrays an unrealistic woman and man, 

A representation that makes everyone feel less than. 

Why can I not be fat and beautiful as well? 

Admitting you’re fat rings complimentary alarm bells. 

‘NO, no, no! Don’t be silly you’re not fat!’

You’re stunning and gorgeous, ANYTHING but that!!’

 

I say I’m fat … you say, NO you’re beautiful …

All that you teach me is that being fat is unsuitable, Unusual.

Why can I not just be beautiful?

I just want to feel beautiful. 

 

I say I’m fat.. 

you say, No.

You’re so much more. ~ Rachel Wiley.
