What if?

What if?

What if I wasn’t called, Fatstuff?
Would I be any different today?
Would I look in the mirror, now thinner
and say,
Linda ~ you should be slimmer. . .
Would I love myself any more,
accept myself and be sure,
that I am the person I should be,
or could be?
Am I trying to please them, not me?
Nope!
I got over it,
through it
Poop on them!
Ooops – I was called Poopsie too
Poopsie and Fatstuff
Now that’s enough to make a girl rough,
around the edges
make her not like who she is, get tough
resentful, defensive,
but I’m not
I’m sensitive ~ good, and kind,
because I left my past behind,
the bad part,
the sad heart,
like all little girl’s should,
if they could
