I.
try on the boy who hated his body. he feels comforted rather than uncomfortable when the people who love him say he doesn't have to. that it isn't the wrong body, or one beyond repair. that it simply is. this boy is okay.
II.
try on the boy who hated his lips. he feels safe rather than threatened when the boy he trusts says he wants to kiss him. he has trouble believing it but gets closer everyday. this boy is okay.
III.
try on the boy who hated his name. he has people who know him, and love him, and take the name he's made for himself and love it. he melts when these people attach his name to him, and to affection, and to recognition, and to appreciated. this boy is okay.
