society and fat

Your getting skinny they tell me
Your looking so good they tell me
You lost weight they tell me
But they didn't know
They didn't know I was starving myself
Only eating dinner
I got skinny
I got beautiful
But I was sad seeking revenge on my body
I use to love the feeling of water slipping down my throat on an empty stomach it meant I was getting skinny
But really I was hating myself
Really I was hurting myself
It wasn't ok
I wasn't ok
Now I eat
Now they say what a pretty face
Now they say what a nice personality
But I love myself
I always will
And I know I still am not as big as was
But I'm beautiful and have been
It's funny though how when a fat girl starves she is praised for weight lost she has lost
But when a skinny girl starves she has a disease
They both are broken
You society have told them they aren't beautiful
You society are wrong
There beautiful and one day someone will love them for who they are
You society are wrong in so many ways
You society need to see a different perspective
Girls shouldn't be forced to change cause your view
society your a monster
So here I am two years past not eating
I'm beautiful I'm strong
A little thicc perhaps bit proud
I write this with tears knowing the past
But it's okay now
It will be okay now
I won't go back
I try not to go back
Some days it's hard
But I'll win the fight
