picture blown up to movie screen size
projected on a wall wherever
my memorial may be held.
I want to be remembered
as I was before
life stole my ability to be myself.
When I hadn't learned
shame, embarrassment, hurt.
Before false friends, school bullies, body shaming.
Alternating between food binges, laxatives, starving
myself. Labels: Big Nose, Fatty, Bad Association.
Before self-righteousness, arrogance, and disfellowshipping.
After turning 50, going grey,
not giving a fuck.
Post Scriptum
That is who I am.
