Being Thin

being thin isn't all it's cracked up to be
people judge you just the same
or at least you think they do
when you're my size they probably actually do
too boney
too weak
eyebrows raise when they see the tiny amount of food
on my tiny plate
thin wrists
thin waist
thin lips
I'm losing my patience

other girls are jealous
they wish they could eat junk food
and not gain weight
they wish they could fit into my dress
they wish they could show off my thin waist
try not to flash people with my ribs though
I wish they'd get over it

being thin isn't all it's cracked up to be
but I don't mind being me at all
this is how I am
thin (sure)
beautiful (jaw droppingly so, or so I've been told)
intelligent (3.4 grade point average)
funny (X10^99)
goofy (ie/ velociraptor dance, ask my sister for more information)

I'm not afraid of myself
I'm not afraid of what others think
and I'm not going to let someone else tell me what beauty looks like
beauty is confidence
and I've got that
so the rest of you can just grow up
stop whining about what you don't have
and start loving what you've got
because other people do
they love you just how you are
so why can't you?

you don't have to be thin to be pretty
and being thin certaintly doesn't guarantee happiness
there's no such thing as perfect
so stop trying to find perfection
look in the mirror
smile
and tell yourself that you're beautiful
until you believe it
then throw away those magazines that try and tell you otherwise
and go have a good time with your other equally fat, semi-fat or unfat friends
