Dear body
I want to tell you I finally love you
The stretch marks on your stomach
I call them my tiger stripes
The scars all over you
I call them reminders
Reminders of a time
Where I did not love you
Did not think you were worthy
Did not want you
That’s all over
Because body
You are beautiful
I use to avoid looking in mirrors
Because they made me wanna cry
But now
I can hardly take my eyes off of you
Body I’m sorry
I’m sorry for all the abuse
I put you through
Body you are gorgeous
Every tummy roll
Every laugh line
Every thing about you
Is stunning
And body I know
I’m not always going to feel this way
There are going to be times
Where I will curse you
And cry over you
But body know
That I don’t mean it
Know I finally love you
And always will
Sincerely yours
Mika Greer
