Curve

O.K. so I agree my hips just might be a bit wide
And yes I admit my butt oversized
So what if I’ve got extra fat 
Wont stop me from thinking I’m all that
My figure obviously larger than yours
But these differences uniquely ours
Time we stop telling each other what “real size” should be
Our bodies and personalities help define the mirrored image we each call ME
I don’t mind a little advice on self care
But to think me less than you, how do you dare?
My mirror doesn’t lie so I know I look good
Everything still rest in places they should
So save your sarcasm and your criticisms
Cause my skin and size I’m comfortable in
Please don’t waste your time cause I’m comfortable with my curves
Before you go teaching improvement ensure self love has been learnt.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
