This is Me

Short, Bald, and Fat might be what you see.
But to others that's not who I want to be
I wish you noticed my soul, spirit and character of strength
Instead you judge and condemn always keeping me at arm's length.

It's really quite astonishing at how close minded you are
I've come a long ways to be open thus far
The negativity that surrounds your presence
Leaves a bad taste, nasty is it's essence

I haven't always been fat, at least not so much
But your preposterous insults are hurtful as such
You bring me pain with words and your neglect
But aren't my feelings something to protect?

Yes I'm short and that I cannot hide
But is that really all that bad? I am taller than wide
I cant help it if my height bothers you
I cant grow anymore despite your ridicule.

The loss of hair is something I try to diminish
To some being bald is quite distinguished
But laughing and joking and pointing out my flaws
Makes me feel like Im being ripped apart with claws.

So here I am with all these insecurities
Brought about by your spitefulness despite my pleas
I must leave and get away to start anew
One last thing I need to say... F..... U.
