I found this poem today when I was going through a bunch of my old crafting books, trying to decide what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. It's very apropos for FA.
CONCLUSION
By: Maggie Coffin
I am what I am
My bulk does not open doors
It should not close them
My size is my only difference
Why cannot others see that
My beauty comes from within and without
Just like everyone else
I breathe, love, laugh, and feel pain
The same as others
Do people think my stature protects me
From ordinary feelings
My sense of self-worth should not
Depend on my dress size
I accept myself - gladly - proudly!
If others cannot
It is THEIR problem
I had forgotten I had this, and I've had it so long that the paper I typed it on (yes, it's typed on a typewriter, not done from a computer and printed) is yellowed with age.
