Be What You Are
18 × 24 Canvas Original
Mixed media- acrylic on canvas with glitter
2025
What if I let go,
released the fingers always reaching
to pinch at softness,
let my belly settle,
let my thighs part without apology?
What if I stopped twisting myself
into someone else’s idea of less
no more sucking in,
no more turning sideways in mirrors
like truth could be sidestepped?
What if I ate what I craved
without tallying penance in calories,
let each bite be a pleasure,
each swallow a rebellion
against a world that called me
too fucking much?
What if I whispered thank you
to this body:
for stretching, holding,
birthing, breaking, healing
instead of I hate you?
Would the shame unravel like a threadbare lie?
Would self-loathing drag itself out,
cursing as it slammed the door?
If I met this body,
this wild temple,
with a love so unconditional it felt like a home
Who might I become?
