Two emotions that came from being Fat all my life....

With Me

The Fat Fairie

tricked me

she told me

she'd be

My friend

My family

My love

so sweet....

The Fat Fairie

she left me

with all of her lies...

Wear black,

Wear heels,

Wear no stripes to the side.

The Fat Fairie

she's sly...

She's living

rent free.

She built an

addition...

She's living

with me.

Don't Feel Sorry For Me

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't look my way and think to yourself

"She's so pretty...if only

she could lose some weight".

I know it's a touchy subject

but I don't care.

I am full of life

and love to share.

Maybe it's my private shield,

usually people don't enter

who are not for real.

Sometimes it can give

me the ede.

I'm friends with some

who might have been

intimidated instead.

I've been up and I've been down.

It has been a merry-go-round.

I've felt the sting

of judging eyes.

I've been embarrassed

I have cried.

But I've also found

that I can be.

All that matters

all I need.

I can star in passion's play,

I am free...

I'm not afraid.

Can any of you relate?????

I am so glad to have Hope with this Band......

Nancy

Thanks - I used to perform these (in fact I wrote them to perform) and the audience would always love them.....

It took guts - but you guys know - that inside I still wished I wasn't fighting the fat fairy in the first place.

You know how it is.....

I have some other poems listed on a thread called - some of my poetry for you to check out - it is in the lap band talk lounge area.

Thanks,

Those are both great Nancy. The second one really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us!
