This poem i wrote is titled "fat" because i am on new medication that makes me hungry and i have always struggled with eating disorders. eating more makes me feel so fat so i used this to express myself. 

FAT 

I look around

All I see is

Fat

I see it in the bulge of

Grocery bags

In the overly excessive skin slabs

fat

In the perfectly putrid purple marks on

Hips

Grease imprinted on noses on foreheads

In the licking of lips

I look around and all I ever see is

Fat

I see it in the windows

In streets

In stores

I see it in my own house

Behind closed doors

Fat

I see it in my own reflection

Reflecting just how

Little

Self-control I contain

I watch the pounds poor in

How much more will I gain

I am becoming such a lustful sin

Fat

I see it in the bulge of my grocery bags

In my overly excessive skin slabs

Fat

In the perfectly putrid purple marks on

My hips

Grease imprinted on my nose

My forehead

In the licking of my lips

I look in the mirror and all I can see is

Fat

Fat

Fat
