I should have walked.

I should have walked but I didn't.

It was Friday, and my head was aching.
My legs were shaking.
And I felt dizzy.

So I got the bus.

I just wanted to get home and sleep.

But it wouldn't let me.

Why did you get the bus?
You're fat.
You need to loose weight.
How will you loose weight if you're sitting on a bus?

I looked out the window, taking in every tree, every lamppost, every street name.
But it wouldn't stop.

You were a pig at lunch.
You need to loose the fat.
Your shirt is bursting at the seams.
You're so gross.
And chubby.

And fat.

What do you think people call you?

I put in my headphones and turned up the volume, drowning out the voice with music.
I pulled my hood over my head, trying to hide the tears that formed in my eyes.

I would not let them fall.

Not whilst people could see me.
Not whilst they could judge me.
