Dinner was a disaster
An awkward affair where no one cared
Mother was scowling
Father was drinking
And no one would eat
Dinner was a disaster,
One I would love to forget
Too bad for me
Things never worked in my favor
New Girl
The next morning came
Bright and early and full of chirping
I didn't want to get up,
I didn't want to go to school
But I did anyway
And look where it got me
There was a new girl at school today
A heavy girl
Bigger then even me
But she wasn't a thing like me
She didn't slouch like I did
She didn't hide behind her hair
In fact, I fear I might have seen what looked liked a smile
Slithering across her face
The new girl is interesting to everyone now
They all couldn't understand how someone so fat
Could look so happy
I couldn't understand
How she looked so comfortable
I felt funny inside, like something was eating away at me
It took me a second to realize what
I took me a minute to squish it back down
No, no no
I won't allow it,
I can't allow the past me back out
She would only make a mess of the work I'd accomplished
The new girl was standing in front of me
How did she move so fast with her short little legs?
I stare at her, she stares at me
Then she smiles brightly
"Hey," she says, "I'm Amber."
I nod slowly, not trusting my voice
She returns my nod with another revolting confident smile
And turns to leave
I hate the new girl already
PE
Physical Education isn't fun
Everyone watches you
They always do
I don't feel comfortable in shorts and a tee
Each step I took the fat jiggled on me
I wanted to hide
I didn't want them to see
But I was already out there
They've seen me now
So I sucked in the fat and pretended I didn't care
Physical Education isn't fun
