I'm trying to remain positive,
To remember all I've learned.
Yet I'm bombarded constantly,
With images of a better self.
It's hard to love yourself,
When all around is showing you different.
A society programmed to despise,
Any form of increased size.
As I sit here tonight,
Trying with all of my might,
To remember I'm still the same person inside.
Despite the body fat I so desperately try to hide.
I have to remember everyone has tough days, they are the ones which make us stronger.
