07: The Body - July 2021

loveME

Throwing off this weight as I prep to balance the loss.
 Not caring what others think since only I know the cost.
 Everything I’ve lost and everything I've gained
 Weird how I've recently fallen in love with the growing pain.
 Training, framing, affirming that this is all for me
 stare down that mirror and finally loving what I see. 
 ME.
 Years of self-loathing and shitty self- talk...
 I always covered up yet you would never see it in my walk.
 I killed the version of me I hated and he now lays..outlined in chalk
 he used to hide in bottles, he was scared of being a softy, like cork.
 ME.
 In his wake I rejoice with song and dance
 Taking journeys through notes, I’ve finally found my stance.
 The mirror can’t hurt me anymore so now I frequently glance.
 Last week I signed a contract, I’m getting my chance.
 ME.
 I asked God to free me from myself
 We spoke for years and years now I'm up on my health
 Told me to stop fighting and recognise my wealth.
 your body is but a vessel, so put that mirror on the shelf.
 I cried.
 I fought.
 I couldn't believe.
 We spoke last night.
 I said.
 I finally love myself.
