Vision; A Poem For My Father
What if I don't want to be like all the other girls?
What if I want some meat on my bones.
Oh I forgot,
"Some is better then nothing but to much don't look pleasing"
I'm sorry that you are so caught up
with your personal image of your daughter
that you dont see how much I disagree.
Dad, I dont want to look slim
I dont want to conform to your vision
I dont want to go around everyday in slim body.
So what my body is growing
You got me feeling like I'm choking
Dad
It's like I'm choking on a peice of glass
trying to be an upper class.
Dad
Choking on all the words you've put into my head
Bleeding because I simply can't forget
Dad, I am not your vision
this is not a judicial decision.
Take a seat because my name is not Vision.
