I should not mind being heavy

Lots of people are

But I puff to bend over

Waiting to get my stomach

Out of the way

I should not mind being heavy

But

My pants

Make seam marks on my legs

Chairs don't fit

My shoes are s t r e t c h e d

And my size is always

Missing

Off the rack

I should not mind being heavy

But

My skin

Jiggles

like

Jello

And

I feel

like a

barrel
