When will I see
Someone like me
A plus size girl
On the silver screen

One where her being fat
Isn't the main thing
One where she's seen
As the prize for a king

One where men fight for her
And show her some respect
One where they treat her
Better than the rest

Where her curves are praised
And lusted after
One where her weight
Doesn't matter

One where her weight struggles
Aren't the plot
One where she gives
The hot guy a shot

One where her sidekick
Is her skinny friend
One where she can choose
To stand alone in the end

One where she sings
One where she can dance
One when she's given
The ultimate chance

Where she chases her dreams
And goes really far
Make her the hot girl
Who drives the sick car

Or is this too much to ask for
To see
A fat princess
Produced by Disney

Just give me one
Or two or three
Plus size Latinas
Who look just like me

Let her be
Your object of beauty
And you'll see how many people
Would go see that movie

I don't feel represented
And I don't feel seen
Not til I see a big girl
On the screen.
