Chubby Girl

my father left because i’m fat
all of my men
all my friends
because i’m fat.

i was raped because i was thin

the other day, on the street, b/c i’m fat
two guys walking by, one said,
look at that fat bitch

so i don’t go out

i shop at night

i live on the outskirts

people tell me to wear sleeves

they stare

i keep friends for years before they leave me

my mother died then my father raped me. he left because
I am fat. they all left.

people stare and say things for my own good, right ?, even if
they are nasty

my fat protects me from the creep, the ass, the broken heart

it keeps me warm.

it is why every bad thing happens.

It keeps me safe.
