Obesity is not my name
I am not a red line on a chart
My tears fall just as soft as yours
this body still holds a heart
I am not an entertaining joke
an excuse to make you grin
My outside layer may have it's faults
but I am not just skin
I am not a target for sympathy
and diet advice has its place
I dont need to be told how good I could look
cos I have such a lovely face
I am not my dress size
I am not the size of my shoe
There is a good person inside of me
I am just as worthy as you
I do not find reason to judge you
So I ask that you do the same
I am an extraordinary person
