I Am a Large Woman

I am a large woman,
Broad lovely hips,
Soft round belly,
Big luscious lips.

Wherever I go,
People take notice of me,
Let them gawk,
At my massive beauty.

People that laugh,
Think they cause me dismay,
Too small to perceive,
The femininity I convey.

I am like a mountain,
Exuding simple grace,
Too vast and three dimensional,
To be considered commonplace.

I am a large woman,
With pride I stand tall,
I don't take up too much room,
This world's just too damn small.

Running Away

The treasured dreams of my youth
rapidly grow old and stale.
I cling to frayed threads of hope
that somehow I will prevail.

Reality has trampled me.
I'm unwillingly made to face
that lies are my only lifeline,
in this harsh, unfeeling place.

Wrapped in cozy delusions
I was sheltered from the pain.
Now that they are all threadbare
what is left to keep me sane?

I just want to keep on running
from the truths invading my head.
Denial is a cherished friend
when your “happy ending” is dead.
