LJIdol / LPF: Week 2: My Mount Rushmore
Sunday, 14 October 2018 10:06 amI am learning how to love my own skin
Rejecting impossible standards
I am learning how to love myself
---------------------
100 words
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
