self love
he taught me
how to love myself
on every day i did not
i hated everything
about my self
yet self love he still brought
i used to flinch
when his hand touched my skin
i'd stay still holding my breath
while ******* my stomach in
i'd look away
down at the ground
despised my body
that seemed to round
i'd never rest
my weight on him
afraid to crush his bones
since a saw myself far from thin
but he held me close
against his skin
said i was beautiful
with a reassuring grin
not a day goes by
that he doesn't make sure
i know my self-loathing
is utterly obscure
so now i see beauty
in plain brown eyes
and see something lovely
in big stretch marked thighs
although i dont love it
i don't hate every inch
thanks to him and his effort
i don't see it and flinch
he taught me
how to love myself
and now i think i do
i hated everything
about my self
but he has helped fix this view
s.s
thank you
but also, we don't need to talk about this
