Touch can be very important We all need to be touched We all need to feel like we are beautiful In our own ways Learning to embrace our selves Embracing the warmth That can come with a simple touch With a simple hug I don't think we allow ourselves to be touched enough We spend so much time guarding ourselves We have spent so much time demeaning ourselves Demeaning our bodies Sexualizing ourselves Demonizing touch Even demonizing our bodies Ultimately repressing ourselves We need to be able to allow ourselves to be more open to touching And hugging And just spending time Connecting in intimate and healing ways
