Walk in the classroom,

Silence.

Stares from all around,

Whispers.

Who is she?

Take a seat at the back,

Wish the day was

Gone.

The cafeteria,

Stuffing myself,
Peanut butter
Alone in a sea of people

Laughing and whispers

Who is she?

In silence I sit,

Nickname

Fatty.

That’s not me.

Walk into my house.

Mirror.

Who is she?

This is about an obese girl that is not new to school, but no one knows who she is. I see instances like this all the time, and these people need a voice.
