FatStanding from across the storeYou stare at me as if you haven't anyOther place to look at anymore.You make faces at me in disgustYou make me feel uncomfortableIn every place that I go andMy feelings feel unjust.In my mind and heartI’m not a bad personJust overweight and oversized to be exactI have needsI have feelings in fact.Others like you don't know what it's likeBeing trappedMocked and shuffled to the sideAs if we have no place here to coincide.I'm tired of trying to defended my spaceHere on earthI used to put every bit of strength I hadTo fight the snickeringBickering about me being FATFor what it was worth.Realizing it's a waste of my time and peopleWho stare from across the roomHave something deeper than the looks ofDisturbing their narrow minds.I found that through this ordealThat's had me downThat actuallyI am a beautiful individual andThis life has turned me aroundTo see all the things they don'tAnd won't see.I am a beautiful individualMastered by the creatorAlmighty GodHe's helped me in so many ways thatI’ve survived somethingSent from evilNow I’m okayI have theBest care possible becauseI am truly blessed.

WomanIn the lightest moment of her lifeThe birth of her child givesThe feeling of making every moment countIn this new form of lifeA new envision of what it means to be a woman.Her mind extended to her next dream to beAll that she wills to beA woman exposed to being discovered asHaving the beautiful grace of whatGod has intended for women.To loveTo nurtureTo complete and teach as those that come in betweenAnd close to her to share her insight on what isTo be a woman.Curiosity will draw many nearTo learn what some fearOf what it isWhat it means to be a woman in theSense of every word of the many facesThat we carry.

SpeakThe days go by and the nights seem endless but stillI find the strength to continue on this forever journey to be heard.I've kept quite for so long and now I long to be freeFree to speak my mind of ever flowing thoughtsThat had long ago stayed within me.I've come to realize that in this journey we call lifeIt’s meant to be explored to definite fullness to completeEach and every chapter of our written story.To come full circle and have a sense of completenessIs what I seekTo live to become and be at easeFor so long I have waited for someone to understandThe things that I have gone throughTo find the words that I seek.I have been raped, beaten and robbed of my self esteemIn my past and no longer will I be afraid to speak upTo the things that used to frighten me so fiercelyThat it caused me to shut my eyesClose my ears and seal my mouthSo that I was unable to be within reach.Not anymore will I submit to this self tormentI will speak with my eyes so that you may see tearsI will open my mouth so that I may send my voiceFrom one end of the earth to another andI will listen to what all has to be said after I have spoken.There is no better way of saying thatI’ve overcome a struggle and this is where the journey nearsA completion that has given me closure to move onTo another chapter of my story.
