you have always encouraged
a negative lifestyle
calling yourself fat
looking like you
were hoping others would tell themselves
they were fat too
saying that you didn't eat breakfast that day
fat is such a harmful word
so is skinny
but let's focus on fat
for now
but speaking of negativity
you always called us nerds
for reading books during free time
agreeing when that other girl
called us boring
if we were a bit older
'prude' would be the name
we were called
for what?
for wanting to read?
for wanting to be more intelligent?
i didn't get it
i hope i never get it
