Simple Carbs/IHBYIIWY2
I understand
More than anyone
That I have a weight problem, however
What I don’t understand
Is why so many people
Without my problem
Insist that they have solved it
When in fact
Their problem set
Has nothing to do with mine
Whatsoever, same way
Their opinions come out like
Diarrhea of the mouth
Well-intentioned but
Enough simple carbohydrates like
Shame, pity and resentment
Makes you gassy and
Unable to make friends.
So many simple minded idiots
Talking down to me about
Their own anxieties and fear
Not understanding what it even means
To be so contemptuous
To reduce a human being
To the appearance of their flesh.
Trying to convince
Self-hating lonely faggots and
Various other lost souls I meet
Who think my body is reason enough
To disrespect me— they never even notice
The pity I feel for them, being unable
To connect with anyone they don’t see as
Good enough, judging people’s health
By their looks and not their actions
People who give diet advice
To people exercising at the same place
At the same time, people
Telling fat bodies they can’t function
When in reality their brain
Isn’t capable of empathy or understanding
Just a simplistic overgeneralization
Of why they’re better off
Than some fat idiot they don’t want to be
Well, guess what
I’d hate being you
If I were you too
