Skinny Girls Cry Too

in bodyshaming •  7 years ago 

She's not fat, she just has more flesh than me. This gave her some sort of authority to bully me and scream, she wasn't abusive at first, not till someone made a snide comment about how I'm pretty and she's not, even I was hurt.

In my eyes, she's the sun, she's the epitome of Romeo's words. A Shakespearean goddess, Aphrodite without Greece... Her beauty, exquisite as it is, was never enough.

I cry night after night, from her laughter and her words, called me a stick figure, a model for trees and whatnot. I miss my best friend, but now I know she's gone.
What's left is a monster, not even a spawn of a death god.

She reminds me of the Jotun, she's turned my world to Jotunheim, soon my heart will become Nifleheim, a frozen land of ice.

She hates me because I'm skinny, I love her because she's not.

And when she talks she says the words "Skinny girls don't cry, because there's nothing there to shed."

But I whisper, distraught... "even skinny girls cry too. "
