Self-Love Presentation

SELF-LOVE

Today I asked my body what she needed

Which is a big deal

Considering my journey ofNot Really Asking That Much

I thought she might need more waterOr protein. Or greens. Or yoga. Or supplements. Or movement.

But as I stood in the showerReflecting on her stretch marks,

Her roundness where I would like flatnessHer softness where I would like firmness, That form a bundle of Never-Quite-Right-Ness

All those conditioned wishes

She whispered very gently:

Could you just love me like this ?
