Ever since I was a kid,
I’ve had trouble with my appetite.
This, of course, made me extremely thin.
I’m 23 years old,
And I’m subjected to so much ridicule and teasing.
“You need to gain weight so someone will want to marry you.”
“You’re going to die because of how little you eat.”
“Your back is hunched over all of the time because of how thin you are.”
“You look as young as a schoolgirl.”
“Who’s gonna marry you when you look like that?”
It’s hard to see myself as beautiful.
I’m dissatisfied by what I see in the mirror.
I try to dress in loose clothing that hides my body.
Whenever I enter into a relationship with someone,
They always tell me to gain weight,
So that when we’re married,
There’ll be enough of me to hold.
