Someone Like Me

Plus Size Prisoner of Society

Date of entry: 7.3.23

When will I see

Someone like me

A plus size girl

On the silver screen

One where her being fat

Isn't the main thing

One where she's seen

As the prize for a king

One where men fight for her

And show her some respect

One where they treat her

Better than the rest

Where her curves are praised

And lusted after

One where her weight

Doesn't matter

One where her weight struggles

Aren't the plot

One where she gives

The hot guy a shot

One where her sidekick

Is her skinny friend

One where she can choose

To stand alone in the end

One where she sings

One where she can dance

One when she's given

The ultimate chance

Where she chases her dreams

And goes really far

Make her the hot girl

Who drives the sick car

Or is this too much to ask for

To see

A fat princess

Produced by Disney

Just give me one

Or two or three

Plus size Latinas

Who look just like me

Let her be

Your object of beauty

And you'll see how many people

Would go see that movie

I don't feel represented

And I don't feel seen

Not til I see a big girl

On the screen.
