My body

Calories in,

Calories out.

Whatever you do,

Don't get fat!

Suck it in,

Tuck it up,

Squeeze in the bad parts,

Puff out the good ones,

Be on display,

Everyone sees,

What your body looks like,

Is what it is

What you are,

I hate my body.

I love my body.

I need my body.

I'm ashamed of my body.

If only...

I would be so much happier if...

Mangled and tangled,

In all of this mess,

My feelings,

My fears,

Wrestling for space.

I hear you,

But I hear you too,

Confusion, contradiction,

What should I do?

I want to care,

But not too much,

I want to do,

But not too little.

Twisted and warped,

I need to sort this through.

How to have a healthy relationship

With my own body?
