Fat girls Don't Cry, We Bounce! by JL Denman

Fat Girls don't cry, We bounce ( This poem lead to my 2nd novel by the same name. It was written for National Novel Writing Month 2 years ago.)

Fat girls don’t cry
We bounce
Bounce back
too much to deal with to be trampled. Molested, pressed down like dough.

Fat girls don’t cry
We hug
Hug ourselves
too short to live in a blubbery cage weighted down by you disapproval.

Fat girls don’t cry
We float
Float up
too effervescent to be demoralized by your oppressive disdain.

Fat girls don’t cry
We shine
Shine brightly
too gorgeous to be confined to 6 or 9 stamped on a model behind.

Fat girls don’t cry
We know
Know much
too much too much about rejection by your skinny pale kind.

Still...
Fat girls don’t cry

Instead...
We
bounce
hug
float
shine
know
grow
show
flow
P.H.A.T. Fat girl
Don’t cry!
