Do not judge me...
Open the Cover and Read
Because I am thin
Do not think my life is perfect.
Stress may have caused the weight loss
Notice the lines on my face.
Because I am overweight
Do not assume I drowned my sorrow with food.
My metabolism may challenge me.
See beyond my exterior.
Because I am disfigured
do not pity me
The lessons I have learned may surpass yours 1,000 fold.
Share my insight.
Because I fit society's definition of beauty
Do not despise me
It may all have been paid for,
to compensate for my internal insecurities.
...Observe the sorrow in my eyes.
Because I do not speak eloquently
Do not write me off as uneducated.
Work and family responsibility may have stolen my childhood education.
Listen to what I am trying to say.
Do not judge me...
