first creative writing I've done in over 5 years. it's still super rough and needs revisions but here it is.


My Body.........



Will never be a size 2
tall enough for the cat walk
or fit society's standards of beauty.


has been battered, bruised
burned and broken
battled in wars of my own creation


has bent but not broken
been cut more times than I can count
and has healed every time.


has run on empty too many times
or been forced to empty itself
after crossing the line.


My Body..........


has run more miles
and hiked more trails
than I ever dreamed possible


has survived cancer
radiation
and the threat of return.


has carried another's life
nourished that precious gift
and allowed her to grow.


has been a source of comfort
through arms that give hugs
and a shoulder to cry on.



My Body...........


scarred
imperfect
unpredictable


strong
flexible
beautiful


My Body.....Amazing.
