This is a love letter to my body
The body that I was taught by some to hate
Dear self…
I love you
I love the way your hips look in a dress
I love the fact that your top lip is darker than your bottom
I love the thickness of your nose
The arch of your eyebrows
Your double chin
The curve of your butt
I love the wrinkles in your hands
The scars on your forearm
The one dimple right above your left cheek
The scar on your forehead is what makes you different
All the things you felt insecure about growing up…
I love them all
I love the fact that you work
I love the fact that my heart pumps when it’s suppose to
That my brain processes things I cannot understand
I love that my body can walk miles a day
That between my legs hold the seed of creation
I love that there is that of God in your reflection
Dear body…
You are perfect
The stretch marks on your breast are like rays of a sun
I love them
& I love you
You are beautiful
The strength in your back and the power of your embrace in a hug
I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life, getting to know you and appreciate you
Dear self…
I love you
