If you look beyond my skin
what would you see within?
My body overweight
I am no A class celebrity
ripped and shredded
I am no hot bod
to be bedded
I may have words of wisdom
I may write
you will never see my fight
to be heard
everyone has a story to tell
from angels in heaven to men in hell
I am who I am
I keep my truths hidden because I don’t want to burn bridges
I fidget with hands
make plans
but you will always judge me on aesthetics
and my superficial exterior
when I know my soul and interior
aren’t inferior.
