Feeling W I D E

Hayley Blundy - 31 Jul 17

Body confidence issues suck. Just getting it off my chest so to speak! I hope there are others out there who can relate. Just easing my mind with some light hearted moaning. 🙂

At 4ft 11″

I’m considered ‘small’

But what if I told you,

I’m not small at all?

I’m short, this is true

Of an inch (or few!)

But mostly, I’m W I D E

And mentally fried

My feet are lost

Under layers of fat

My fingers are sore

Carpal Tunnel.. how about that?

I’m tired, I’m heavy

I’m waddling slow

My bladder is weak

Hold on, I’ve got to go!!

You tell me I’m huge

Am I sure there’s just one?

I’m sure that you mean well

It’s all just for fun

But it hurts and I’m sad

I feel ugly and mad

My body is stretched

A smile far fetched

I can’t look in the mirror

Without swearing out loud

I know what you’re thinking

I should be proud

I am… of the science

Fascinated in fact

I’m growing a human

How amazing is that?

I’m lucky, I’m blessed

I mean no offence

I’m grateful. I am

Just a little bit stressed!

This shape is temporary

This discomfort will go

It will be replaced with love

For my newly born beau

A brother or sister

For my little man

The one they will look up to

Be his biggest fan

They’ll know that I love them

They won’t see my tears

I’ll shield and protect them

From my selfish fears

I did it before

I can do it again

I’ll reclaim my body

We may even become friends?
