This body did nothing to you Yet destroying it is what you do Picking it apart piece by piece and never putting it back together This body didn’t harm you Yet you scrape across it line by line like a farmer preparing its crops This body did not stop loving you You stopped loving you You stopped holding your body up You let others tread against your body while their footprints lay across it like a door mat You allowed your body to become a home to this jigsaw puzzle that you refuse to piece back together You- you put your body on display I wish it to be in an art museums but these words I cannot say You didn’t not cherish your body You let people tell your body that it was broken, ugly, disgusting What did your body do to you to be the punching bag in the middle of the ring Whoever hits it harder wins You put your body in trash bins You put your body in places it cannot win But you You can put it back together again This isn’t Humpty Dumpty This is your body begging for you to love you. You need to love you You need to hold you You need to heal you
