#bodyconfidence
Sky was gray as witches' old, No quarter given, none taken by the cold. Summer's song chased by gentle north breeze, Replaced by stark, hard, white freeze. Running tights bought several sizes too small, Confident they will fit come winter's call. Between **** shorts that hid wet, hot summer cheeks, Feeling lucky, I might give you a peek. Soft, tight black lycra slips over curves hard as stone, Gaze at the mirror, this body, my own. Thin, tight fabric chases away your fantasy, Body sculpted by air, sun, and sweat, no artificial symmetry. Chiseled by hundreds of miles running and swimming, gallons of sweat, Tummy hard, pancake flat, no regrets. In the mirror, my hard body I see, Feel your envy, your resentment, fuel for me. Rocket fuel to propel me out this morn, Cold biting air, but I won't be torn. Used to hate you, now energy's mine, Run and swim longer, leave you in the grime. Through your cars, your scowls, I see, Just chafing sports bras, nothing to me. Open the door, cold air slaps my face, Air ****** from lungs, blood rushes to the pace. Feel alive, your malice pushes me on, Cold air invades every orifice, and I am gone. I slap my cold, tight, little, *** and whisper – you can't touch this.

Race Against The Shadow
Love every inch Love ever curve and scar Love the body that carries your soul The soul that thinks there should be a goal, a goal to be perfect Because the World has told it so They say you're too skinny Then they tell you you're fat Your mind wants to blow What have we done to our world though? Why want us to suffer mentally? living up to societies expectations Fake photos, and photoshopped ********* Why make us all follow their fake idea of perfection? I am more than just what meets the eyes, No one else has my skin, my body, my hair, my mind and me all together I'm unique as I am I will ignore their definitions of "beautiful", Not going to hide under pounds of makeup, Not going to hate myself for not looking more like them, and not going to hide from the world I WILL BE BOLD AND GO, Let them all see who i want to BE, instead of the mask they wanted to see The mask covering up the real ME I will stand up straight, I will keep my head up high, For me and all of society Praying one day, this will all be over with That we will stop defining "beauty" I will fight for our right, Our right to live as how we are made No more being afraid

Large and Small
My body is my body I will do whatever I want I will pierce whatever I want I will get a tattoo where ever I want I will do anything I want with my body if I please Body confidence is the best thing You start to feel better about yourself And you are happier with yourself With body confidence you will be happier
