Poem
Growing up you see nothing but the good You’re taught that if you treat someone right, you get understood Pure, that's how you enter the world Most may say But where does that all change When did you go from loving with your all to disrespecting everything? She was in middle school when she was called fat She still remember to this day who said it to her It stuck to her, and she's near her 20s She don't think she will ever feel secure It hurt It hurts a lot She felt disrespected Yes she did Messed her up mentally Growing up her parents told her "Sweetie, you are fat" "Sweetie, you need to lose weight" Insecurity, that's what she’s stuck with The people who should love and cherish her The people who should take her for who she is The people who should respect her Disrespected her emotionally. Dudes hit on her like she is a piece of meat With a "Let me see what’s under all that" Or a "Omg! Look at that ass" And a "Girl, you know you want this D" That’s the attention she gets That’s the only attention she get So she takes it and it becomes okay. Emotionally disrespected Mentally imprinted within And she don’t even know She grew to become a woman she never thought she’d be Finding love in all the wrong places She let that sorry piece of crap hurt her She let him disrespect her "Trash come here" And a “Don’t get that ass beat” Ending with a “You know who daddy is” Disrespectful that’s what is. Since when was this okay? Since when was this just whatever. When did this all start you may ask. It all started when she didn’t get the love she deserve. It started when that guy called her fat. It started when her mom called her ugly It started when her dad called her fat It started when she gave in It started when she disrespected herself. Possible yes it is She disrespected herself when she didn’t stand up for herself. And when you don’t love or respect yourself, how would you know to see it. And that’s how it is. Respect starts within, and without out no one will respect you Ever.
