From high school to college
The number kept growing
The size kept increasing
My mind kept weeping.
I was never going to look like the size 2 next top models
I would forever be Toccora
The plus sized girl.

Today I see that plus isn’t bad
Plus means more
More to love
More to look at
More to envy.

I look in the mirror and see a woman like Ms. Jones
Curvaceous and beautiful.
I see a woman that has curves in all the right places
That turns heads
Breaks necks and
Make things far more stiff than an ignorant man’s mind.

So, When you look at me
Despite what you think
Despite what you believe
Don’t call me obese
Ugly
Overweight.
Call me Thor
Because there is a thunder between these thighs
