Writing by Keira
[content warnings: eating disorders, weight loss]
One size fits all Is what they say But what they really mean Is that there is only one size that you should be And that is thin, prim, tiny, small, petite Don't you eat that treat sweetie Don't you know it'll go to your hips Don't let those nasty things get past your lips Count the calories, one two three Watch your weight, it's all you can see Trickling away, trickling down Oh babe you look so good Do you wanna come home with me? You're my kinda gal A one size fits all kinda gal Going in and out in all the right places Making all the right faces Sssshhh honey don't cry One size fits all baby Don't you know that? Almost lost myself Whittled away, washed away Gone away, no holiday Found myself, laid some words on thick on my bones Plastered on some ideas and some happiness Some love and some sadness Some care and some bitchiness Some fear and some weakness Some hope and some forgiveness All the things that make me thick Sticking them on my bones Like armour One size fits all, no way! Maybe in your beauty hegemony But babe why don't you look at me Your hegemony is empty Leave a Reply. |
Written Work
Here you will find a list of written work by me, including poems and short stories. I've been entering these into competitions since April 2015 in an attempt to write more. I used to love writing, before I went to university, so this is about me exploring writing. Please feel free to share these if you want to, just credit me. My pronouns are they/them and my name is Keira Edwards-Huolohan. Archives
