True Feelings

If I'm an embarrassment, if I'm too big, then change my name, call me The Pig. I'm sorry I can't be skinny like a swimsuit model, I know what you're thinking, the babies crying where's her bottle? I can be other things, maybe not skinny, if you don't believe me, I bet you a penny. You never knew how I felt, I never came out, instead I laughed with you, never dared to pout. As the years past I thought I was strong, but slowly I started to realize that I was wrong. I hope what I'm saying doesn't come as a shock, because I didn't mean for it to be, truly not. It took so long, so many years, but hopefully now I can dry these tears.
