The Fighter

Date of entry: 6.30.23

Thank you for showing me God

Mom and dad

I feel bad for those girls who

Wish their parents had

When you couldn't be there

While I was being tormented in school

God had my back

I used His light as a tool

He rid me of the darkness

And guided the way

All I had to do

Was listen and obey

This poem goes out

To those plus size girls who don't know Him

I tell you it helped a lot

While I was growin'

When I was teased

I'd turned the other cheek

My faith was my strength

I was not seen as weak

So what, they called me fat

And made me feel as big as a whale

I prayed on through it

And lived to tell the tale

Those "scratches" on your arms

Don't go unseen

He sees them and feels them

And knows where you've been

Even in your darkest moments

He was right by your side

He listened to the unsaid prayers

And caught the tears you cried

He wouldn't give you

More than you could hold

That's why he put some extra love

In your body mold

Your life may be tougher than others

It's true

But that's because he knew

There was a fighter in you
