I Cry For Fat People

I cry for fat people
Snagged on chairs and butting up in elevators
Laughed at by children and ashamed to wear thongs
Sneaking ice cream in the night
I cry for fat people
As they pass the picture perfect wisps of what should be
Plastered on magazine covers and
Video boxes
I cry for fat people
Wishing the next miracle would take hold
Would bring them untold
Love
And the skinny skoff and point
Talking about will power as they charge up the Visa
Talking about will power as they bet on the horses
Talking about will power as they cheat on their wives
I cry for fat people
The last target in the P(olitically) C(orrect) zone
Scorned and ridiculed to tears
To tears
I cry for fat people
Stared at in the buffet
Whispered comments from the gallery who eat their cake without keeping it
Fingers slyly pointed and giggles burping out from hand covered mouths
Fat is so
Unacceptable
To me
I cry for myself
My everlasting battle with goodies and comfort food
My endless fight with ever increasing waist sizes
My hill climb that finally peaked shows yet another hill on the horizon
Bigger
Like my ass
Like my face
Like my pain
I cry for fat people
I cry for my me
And wish Xyenacal didn?t cause
Wet Gas
Because I am ready to try
Anything to create some
Willpower
