No One Is Exempt
You can’t explain to someone
With an eating disorder that
A fat body isn’t a problem if
They have no health issues to speak of.
You can’t explain to someone
Who refuses to accept that
They look the way they do
Because of genetics, that
Fat bodies do as well.
You can’t explain to someone
Who doesn’t know, who doesn’t care
The differences between diseases
You experience, and conditions
You were born with, with society
Affecting you appropriately.
You can’t explain to brainwashed masses
That type 1 and type 2 diabetes have
Different causes and different solutions–
Just the same way no one acknowledges
That cushing’s syndrome is not as rare
As it claimed in the journals based on
People who live, and are retroactively
Treated.
All of us are trapped
In our own heads, and
It doesn’t matter if you walk out of yours
And reflect–
The majority of people
IRL and on the internet
Are fatphobic idiots
Who do not wish anyone well,
Only themselves.
