I wouldn't look at my face
you told me I was a disgrace
you told me I was fat
and I was constantly laughed at.
I go to school
all dressed in black
and constantly fear
that I'm being called fat
I have very few friends
because of my low self esteem
cause, truely,
who would want to be around me?
I still can't look at myself
without wanting to cry
because, mother,
your the reason I want to die.
Author notes

IT doesn't MATTER if you're 100 KILOS (200 pounds) , its what COUNTS INSIDE!
People who judge you on the outside just are NOT worth it!

omfg
that is almost exactly how i am an how i was treated when i lived with my parents!!! i love this because i can relate to it
-
Awww this is so sad and very painful. I can relate to this poem, my mom is the reason I am getting emancipated from her. You're not alone in this one even no matter wat you still feel alone. Keep writing.

Awww what a sad poem. I know how you're feeling my mom seems to have her ways of trying to "help" me and she doesn't get that when she says I look bad or other things that it hurts. But you are fine the way you are no matter what people say. It really has a lot of emotion I like it a lot. Great Write.

Hey I know exactly how you feel. My mom says stuff like this to me constantly, and now even my brother and sister are saying it too... It hurts, but it will get better, or so I've been told.

aww... I'm sorry sweetie that you feel like this
I'm sorry your mom is so mean too. If you are chubby that means there is just more to love 
And your in shape! Round is a shape 
I get picked on because I'm super skinny and can't do anything about it. so skinny or chubby... your going to get pick on
Don't ever change who you are! You are who you are and that is that
Good write

I agree that comments made by parents are very influential on a young person. Most parents do love their children, and only hurt their children unintentionally. Perhaps there comes a time to mother oneself.
Please do not hate yourself

i know how you feel. i was in that position too, except for me it was my dad. i was in a size zero and he still said stuff like that, so it's really hard on me as i get older. i'm sorry you have to go through this though. *hugs*

Sad
Im sorry you had to go through that, I went through it with my family and at school, but as I got older i started not to care as much. So you just need to forget about what everyone said to you and just love your self for who you are. By the way this poem is very deep and i can feel how you feel by reading it...Please keep up the good work....

hey, you are ok the way you are.
my mom is a singer at the church i was raised in and i always have tried to sound like her. I've done a cd (all original songs) and sold 120 copies to friends and strangers alike, and although people like my voice, my mom ALWAYS has something to say about how it could be better.
i just want you to know, i don't know you but i love you. i love you very much right now at this moment. -
Damn, this hits home for me. My mother has a similar way of showing her "affections". I am sorry that you must feel this way, it really isn't you though and I hope you will someday understand that. Sometimes people just need to feed off of what little we have inside so they can feel good.... Heartfelt and emotional write....
