"minuetes" poems
Here I am at this adult stage
Step by step flipping a new page
Dare to wish I was caught in a cage
The life I have lived ain't fair
Cos I never got my fair share
Fooled myself that I didn't care
Seconds, minuetes, hours, days, weeks, months, years even decades has passed
After each heartbeat I wish I had asked
I have been told lies
Each time tears filled my eyes
I have been told that weak is she who cries
Deep inside my heart silently I could cry

I thought I made a mistake today when I again equated my self worth to numerics.
However, my life is worth more than numbers on a scale.
I have spent years learning to love myself.
I have spent months teaching myself helpful and safe patterns that honor myself.
I have spent weeks unlearning all the negative things I have heard from society about what a body should look like.
I have spent days helping others do the same through talking, art, music, and drama.
I have spent hours exploring my body- my temple.
I have spent minuetes unconsciously making new positive associations.
And I will spend no more seconds hating numerics in relation to my body.
