An awareness poem on the fat issues. Not always a fat person is FAT by choice. Never mock, tease, underestimate, write off a person who is extremely fat/thin or any such 'defects' you see in your eyes. You never know what demons they are fighting, what pain they are trying to hide and what stories they are trying so hard to keep hidden in their life.
Please, help those whom you think needs help.

a cold dish best served is when
there is no hunger to feel the taste;
yet, the tongue savors on each bite,
like that leftover meal is vital for
survival.
they won't understand it.
those who count every calorie
every carbohydrate
every fat
every molecule
every bite
that goes into their mouth.
they would say,
"you eat because you don't have self-control."
"you eat because you don't have any idea what a blessing is your body."
Oh, but how right they are! are they?
It's because we don't have that self-worth;
we eat that last piece of chocolate cake.
It's because we don't care;
we gorge into that third plate of leftover.
Oh, but it's true...
it's because we don't care
and don't have self-control,
we eat and eat and eat;
like an animal.
Oh, how right you are!
But, I wonder if you know a story;
about a girl who hides her bruises with Twinkies,
who hides her guilt of being useless with that last piece of chocolate,
who uses the help of candy when you don't pick him to play,
someone who hides in the closet and cry his heart out.
a story about someone, whom you mocked and teased and taunted;
but, never tried to understand or sit and talk with him/her.
you see, we all have scars
that we hide under our skin.
if you don't realize that you are hurting others
by your calorie counting mouth;
then do a favor and shut up!
you don't know
and you wouldn't understand...
the feeling of a person who can't control
their obsession with eating/not eating food.
also, the need to stuff their mouth and feel guilty later.
you won't and you shall never understand
the tears shed by others
who have many devils to hide under their bed?
you would never ever care to try to be for once in the grieving person's shoe; would you?
just to understand for once
the pain and story behind every snickers,
every candy,
every pretzel,
every coke,
every caffeine,
every sugar,
every carbohydrate...
maybe one day if you try to understand,
then you may find the reason
for every guilty cuts and treat,
of someone whose only fault
is their uncontrollable mouth.

P.S and I know what it is to feel like. SO, this poem or the note above is not in any way to discriminate or tease anyone. I know what it feels like to be sad/fat/mad and angry. CC was also a motivation/inspiration for me to write a story completely fictional with a character which I can relate to.
When I came to wattpad for the first time, I saw a fat book and searched for more and I was like... wow! And, then, it gave me this endless urge to write something and CC was born. I am glad that I get to write a cliche story though my main male character is not a popular player in the school. he is a typical chocolate boy; that's all. SO, I thank everyone for making this book a success with 50K+reads. I never thought it will even succeed to 1000 :) Thank you.
PPS that image in the media from google is so me; though it's not mE! eeee....
