Weight
I take up space
because I’m allowed to.
My place in this universe
is forgiving, soft, and flexible.
The outside doesn’t always match the inside;
but what if it did?
What’s wrong with the outside?
I’m larger than life with a body and mind that’s thriving.
Head up. Chin up.
My defiance brings me home.
My curves are gorgeous,
my freedom is mine,
and I relinquish the weight of your words.
