Self

They say I'm too big because I'm not a size 5, but their eyes tell me lies. They say your cute, for a big girl of course, but it only makes my heart cry. My stretch marks don't define me, so why deny me, the respect and love I deserve? Yes my thighs rub together and my hips are pretty thick, but more importantly I love me for what you cannot see.
