Some Body

This poem is a call to accepting the beauty of our human form with all of its quirks and imperfection. I wrote it with women in mind but I think everyone can relate on some level. Here's to self-acceptance and loving our bodies!

Somebody.

You're beautiful the way you are.

Yes,

With the lumps and bumps and scars.

With all the crows feet and the wrinkles.

The hairs gone grey,

The teenage pimples.

You're beautiful.

Nothing to change.

Must not your own face rearrange.

It tells a tale of stories lived.

The way you are has much to give.

The moles,

The blemishes,

The frizz.

All parts of what a real life is.

The love handles and cellulite.

Want your acceptance.

Yes,

That's right.

Imperfect,

Quirky.

That's the norm.

Let's celebrate our human form.

The natural you will take you far.

You're beautiful the way you are.
