Open Note To My Soul
Today I fell in love with my soul.
I realized that all my life, every time I learned to love my body...it changed.
I learned to love my flat chest, then my chest changed.
I learned to love my skin, then I got eczema.
I learned to love my body, then mother nature called for my insides to shed.
I learned to love my legs, then I grew hair. Everywhere.
I learned to love my nails, then they would break.
I learned to love my hair, then it began to fall out.
I learned to love my ears, then I tore one lobe.
I learned to love my thighs, then they began to chaff.
I learned to love my eyes, then my eyesight started to weaken.
I learned to love my abs, then they disappeared, then appeared, then disappeared again.
I learned to love my flexibility, then my knees began to ache.
I learned to love my intensity, then I started to get migraines.
I learned to love everything about my body, every time it changed,
Never once did I take the time to learn to love the soul it held within.
So I took the time to learn to love my soul...
I learned to love my kindness.
I learned to love my giving spirit.
I learned to love my temperament.
I learned to love my selflessness.
I learned to love my humanity.
I learned to love my humor.
I learned to love my humility.
I learned to love my selective confidence.
Today I feel in love with my soul, and nothing has been the same.
