today i saw myself as a crepe myrtle blossom
bursting magenta, dripping with life
so full and juicy and lotus-eating
demanding of attention
not only for an earthly beauty,
but for the allure of aliveness
how could i ever feel contempt for a body like this?
so i promise myself-
next time the comparison monsters of my mind try to take control
i will remember myself as a crepe myrtle blossom
