Bodies

Because body shaming is hurtful even and especially when is done politely / Polite teasing assumes you meant no harm when I know and you know that you did / Because no one wants to be pointed at as you turn to someone else and say you have a friend my size who keeps claiming that she is a size twelve / No, I am not a size twelve / Maybe your friend is not a size twelve either / You are not a size twelve / What difference does it matter / Who cares what size she claims to be / What matters is the size of your love and your sensitivity to other human beings

P.S. If you didn't want to be the bad woman in my story you shouldn't have been the bad woman in my story.
