Fat Chicks

Fat chicks?

What do they see when they look at themselves full length in the mirror?

Years of taunts that cut to the bone - if in fact, you could get to their bones.

School yard loneliness that only a donut could satisfy.

Never being picked by the boys at school.

Hatred for the pretty girls who scored so easily.

A mountain of rage, where their stomachs aught to be,

cascading over their privacy that nobody wants to see.

Knock knees, swollen ankles and stretch marks,

and a bikini line that hasn't seen the light of day,

since puberty,

their prettiest aspects.

A belly laugh as big as, well, them,

that hides all their insecurity.
