Big Girl Problems

Matilyn 2008 (Ohio)



Being a bigger girl in a world of slim is unfair
Constantly clenching your thighs
Sucking in your stomach until all that is left is little there
It is not my fault because of my size
I am more than what meets your eye
I am bold, smart, and obsessed with a good book
Why do you judge me on the way I look?
The size on my tag is not the same size as my heart
I am more than what you see at the start

About this poem

I wrote this short poem in less than 10 minutes for a school exercise. I poured my heart into those 10 minutes.
