Weighing On My Mind

For my lady Kayleigh who is perfect the way she is.

 

I just don’t get it,

I just don’t understand,

Why they would want you

Skinny as a stick

When you're perfectly beautiful

Just the way you are.

What they might think

Is a fat butt

I believe is the sexiest a*s

I have ever seen.

If they think you need

To lose weight

I’d have to say
I think they all lost weight

When they lost their minds.

They believe you to be too big

While I see your curves

As something a goddess

Would be jealous of,

Your naked form

Is my ultimate aphrodisiac.

They heavy your burden

By pushing you to lose some pounds,

I just hope I can

Lighten your load

When I tell you,

“I’d love when you wrap me up

in your voluptuous body.”

I like this piece and I am with you in your views. At the same time, this piece reminds me of that body image controversy that will not go away. I am sick of hearing about it, first they shame fat people and now skinny people. What next, you gonna shame people that are in the middle?

Sorry for the rant, but like I said, I am with you on this piece.

This made me Giggle my sister is a size 5
but she has curves she isn't sickly skinny and she agrees as well
she got her curves from becoming a mother she was always Jealous
in a good way of my curves and she didn't and now she
has lovely curves, she can't eat sweets like me she is Diabetic when
she is pregnant I think it is more evident now that she can't and I am Taller
then my sister she's 5''6 In height and I am 5''8 in Height.


My mother always loved her body had a healthiness about her self
and that taught us girls not to have a low self esteem over our bodies
and we knew what real beauty and love was we were truly blessed to
have the Mother God gave us.



This is Beautiful Dale.


But all men like butts on woman not flat ones
HA...HA as long as we don't squish or smoother
our man to death where he can't breathe that would
be a sad sight to see LOL...



Makes me think of that song I like Big
Butts HA...HA my son takes it and turns
it around and says I like Big Books an something
about reading them He is such a funny, funny boy
as I won't allow him to listen to music like that.

comments you left on my page and

So sweet, Dale!...

Your honest voice flows beautifully through each line...

I think beauty is definitely projected skin deep in society... yet I know you are madly, deeply, in love with this woman..
She seems to be the perfect soul mate for you... CONGRATS on winning her heart...

To me, size does not define a "Ten"...but curves certainly up the ante... ;)

Well penned!~xoxo~:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much sweetie, I always value your opinion.

[Frieda P]

Ha I have mixed emotions about this one, I love the message here, but I'm not sure I'd want a poem dedicated to me that had the words 'fat butt' included, just saying ;) I'm sure she's perfect you old romantic cowboy.....

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

She did not mind me using the word fat because I was defending her… thank you so much Moonbeam.

[Frieda P]

I was only busting you hon...did you lose your sense of humor when you fell in love? :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh hush up silly Moonbeam :)

[Frieda P]

Ooooh now I recognize you! :P

[Ladysue]

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Awe shucks tiny dancer… thank you, now I am blushing.

[Marie]

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you Marie.

[Deandra Dawn]

I love honest and forward this is. Very nice.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much.

[Dhaye]

LOL. We cannot blame some women who say " I need to lose weight" because they want to do it for themselves and not for others...For me, I want to lose weight not only for myself but for my beloved though I know that he is already happy with my "size and shape".
But you are such a sweet man to your lady. That's the real man.
I enjoyed the read and can relate. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh I am fine if they want to do it for themselves… but so many are pressured into it be loved ones who put them down or by the media telling them they have to be skinny in order to be beautiful.
