Transcript

Embracing You In the mirror's gaze I find a friend,

A body that has learned to bend,

To carry burdens,

To laugh and cry,

To soar through days and touch the sky.

No longer do I seek to change,

To fit a mold,

To rearrange.

For every curve,

Each line,

Each mark,

Is part of me,

A vital spark.

I've come to know the space I take,

The weight of love,

The strength to break,

Through every doubt that once took hold,

Now replaced with stories bold.

I am enough in every way,

Not perfect but here to stay,

My body flawed and beautiful too,

Is worthy of a love that's true.

With gentle hands I hold it near,

The shape I've worn,

The form I cheer,

No need to hide,

To shrink or flee,

For in acceptance I am free.
