She is trapped inside her skin
sorrow in the cold.
She only wants to be loved
Feeding on the mold.
Stuffing all that fits inside
Hiding from the world.
It doesn’t hurt, the looks, the stares
All their lips are curled.
She sees so much inside her head
Wanting to be heard
Seeking solace in the food
“Stop at just the third!”
Protection from the cruel, cruel world
Burying alive.
That won’t solve her desperate need
this world she has contrived.
They treat her like a mutant zero
Beating out esteem
Can’t they see a soul just thriving
Wanting to be seen?
Bury those who snarled and snapped
You can’t know her true,
Putting boxes on the shelf
Letting go of few.
If she morphs from the moth
Beauty on the wing
Set her free from the hurt
Listen to her sing.

Amazing write well applauded
Wow this write is beautifully written. And yet its cries out save me for I am dying with in. So sad. Look deep in to you soul and you will fine beauty within. Inter beauty is much, much more amazing then outer Beauty. I love this write it touched me in a special way. Maybe because I have always been Fat but I feel Beautiful out side and in. In my opinion the tile should be some thing else.(Lisa)

Thank u for taking the time to read this. easy to write, hard for me to read. the title came first and i guess is a shock factor to those who read it.
I'm sad to say others relate, but happy to say i have them.
much love
