in defence of …
Always judged and cursed
wrong shape wrong size
too young too old
too much too little
unloved
unloveable
or desired too much
for all the wrong reasons
bombarded across all media
to change to improve to transform
just by buying
more product to disguise
more surgery to shatter
lies to hide and shadow what lies
beneath
Beneath all is what abides
body just are in their own perfection
whatever might not be working today
there will always be only the one
you will ever have
irreplaceable
holding life’s flame
