Poetry Slam - "I, too" Response Poem

6/6/2017

0 Comments

 
I, too am America,
 
I am the heavier sister,
Their words pinch my figure,
The thread continues,
The expectation expands
Upon me,
Slimmer waist,
Slimmer body,
Slimmer hopes of happiness
And conformity,
 
The Sun rises again,
This time
No one will
comment about my weight,
Telling me to
“Hit the gym”
 
Because they forget,
The beauty that within,
I, too, am America
