....
There's more of me than there is of you
Yeah you scoff and mock me out of fear
You won't make me change my course
This road is mine to walk and I love it
Though it takes ages to get some places
....
You just parade your stupidity anew
While everyone else evolves past you
....
I'm never slowing down, or giving in
Thank you for that poem. I laughed - and cheered!
Child of two morbidly obese parents, father died of diabetes complications, four bariatric surgeries in the immediate family. "Wideload" was a term of endearance between my siblings. People can be so stupid when they see others suffering challenges that are visible to the naked eye. Obesity, disability, gender nonconformance, age... these trigger the same moronic hatred as race and sex but society at least pays lip service to not tolerating overt racism and sexism.
Walk on, sister! Walk on!
