My sides burn

Like eyes are burning into every cell of it

Between my eyebrows are tense

In an unknown anger

My stomach has ghost peppers

Riding a looping roller coaster

Through a gang of butterflies

My back has cracked so many times

That each pop adds another insecurity

Into the polluted puddle of muscle in my skull

My eyes are tired

Tired of holding the tears that...

Please Miss

chalk dust on her hands

game chants in her ears

thirty heads a-bobbing

eagerly innocent dears

 

think she's like them, no

thoughts but right now,

her minds miles away:

why am I a silly cow?

 

daily strives to impress

ambitious hectic whirr

one bloke after another

none were right for her

 

as usual on auto-pilot

Brown Bread

she's a great cook to be fair,

puts fine grub on the table,

sees me eat up with gusto

as best as my belly is able

 

she has a bread-maker now,

flour and yeast and pastry,

I must mind my waistline,

dont gobble it up too hasty

 

upset she is at what I leave,

fat gander getting force-fed,

guts so leaden and swollen

I'm no longer good in bed

Surfaces

At school we bullied Billy for being fat

Stole his homework pulled his

Hair broke his glasses

Accused him of all-sorts made his

Life a misery so in the end they took him

Out of school then

Years later I went out with a plump lass

Called Norma she pecked at her meals but

Never lost weight I

Accused her of hiding food and

Bingeing on the quiet and made her life a

Obesity the silent cry

Sitting silent wondering why 

I didn't ask to be born fat

I struggle to get by everyday

i don't want to eat crap food

Please someone take it away

laughter out side the joker me?

look at the fat lady ugly isn't she

pretending I don't hear it I walk

people judge always talk talk talk

the big fat lady can hardly walk

pills don't work not diets I try

I am Both (with audio by me)

I am not the fat girl

I am not the skinny girl.

 

I am both.

 

I am both the bingeing in the night

And the starving from pure fright.

 

I am both

 

In the mirror I am both.

 

I am the always too thin pile of bones

And the body too big to call home.

 

I am both.

 

In the shops I am both.

 

I am the girl who is too curvy to wear cute clothes

Rainbow Bridges

 

Rainbow bridges
and Ice Cream ridges.

A Cotton Candy cloud
Everyone is wowed.

A Chocolate mountain
flows into a Chocolate fountain.

Boy am I

dysmorphia

Sometimes I stand there

In front of the mirror

And my stomach grows

My thighs fatten

My chins double

As I stare at myself

I can feel the food inside me

Bloating and distending me

From inside out

I rush to clothe myself

In case they no longer fit by the time I am finished

In case my fingers become too fat

And sausage like

To do up my buttons

I feel sick at ...
