To Mr. Weight Requirement

To Mr. Weight Requirement is a poem written by Ms. Ma. Elena Yusay and shared with The Ugly Writers

To Mr. Weight Requirement:

You may not remember me anymore;

But I remember you and your herd.

I remember the lovely piggy doodle;

Your friend should have been a professional doodler.

The laugh you made was so unforgettable;

It reminded me of the inaccessible skinny privilege.

How are your relationships with your ladies?

I bet they pass the weight requirement to be your glory holes.

The screenshots of your sizeism-fueled remarks are archived;

Thank you for reminding me that men like you will never respect me.

No worries;

Your existence has become a speck of dust in my memory.

The weight of your body-shaming entitlement is not qualified to exist in my space.
