• I am not fat,
    only feeling trapped
    wanting to feel the glow
    everyone feels after a play or show
    not one person wants to be left out
    so they give a small shout
    hoping to be heard
    and not thinking it's all too absurd
    wondering if anyone will care
    or dare to share
    how they feel
    so it will be easier to heal
    knowing they are strong enough to hold back tears
    and put aside their own fears
    to be brave
    and to save
    others who need help
    they will follow the voices that have yelped
    after running
    and being too cunning
    we will be one
    and it will all be done.
