Shelley Murray-Foreman Poet Chastushka

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

My thighs may slap together
My bum, it may be huge
But if you look a little deeper
You'll find my heart is true

My stomach may be rounded
My bingo wings? Disaster
But my friends will always stick around
While yours will leave much faster

Everything may wobble
On my walk across to work
But the smiles I get are genuine
While yours are just a smirk

I may have got a second chin
And be all over flabby
But you get your joy from others pain
While my friends make me happy

So while your comments hurt me
And make me sad and worry
I can't wallow in self pity
As it's for you that I feel sorry
