It makes me sad when I hear people
disregarding
taking for granted
hating
or
wanting to change
their bodies
Don't you see how beautiful you are?
What a miracle you are?
All these cells combining to form tissues,
combining to form organs,
working together in systems
All so seamlessly and tirelessly
How your brain is capable of such creative and inspiring things
How your heart continues to beat,
even while you sleep
even when you run so hard you think it might leap out of your chest
even when you're so broken hearted, you feel as though the pieces will never fit together again
Do you not see your uniqueness
How not one individual is exactly like you
Those stretch marks
Those freckles
Those scars and bruises and little hairs
Those things you despise so much
Are just some of the things that make you, you
You probably don't know
How your eyes sparkle when you smile
And that your smile is so warm and inviting
Or that your laughter contagious
And that someone's cheeks turn pink and warm
And butterflies fill their stomach
When they see you
What do you see?
Things that should be smaller
Things that should be bigger
Smoother, lighter, more "perfect"
But what can be more perfect
Than you
Right now
Natural, beautiful, miraculous
You
