I am learning how to love my own skin 
And all that is within 
 
My heartbeat like crashing waves 
Under abundant breasts
 
Body positivity 

Rejecting impossible standards
Accepting me
 
The self inflicted scars 
Carved into my arms
My Mount Rushmore of bad days
And half remembered pains
 
The birth marks and freckles and 
Misshapen toes
 
My unaligned eyes 
That make strangers nervous
 
I will break through these distortions 
Until I have reclaimed every inch of my skin
Where it stretches and curves
Cherry blossom tinted
Strong despite assumptions
 
I am expanding my expectations 

I am learning how to love myself

The distortions, the remembered pain of hard times, but yet knowing that you have survived all of it.

There is such strength in seeing and letting go and forging the path forward. Wishing you well with all of this!
