TLC

 

 

Here are the parts of me
that need some TLC:

Hair that grows in unwanted places,
some genetic flaw, these are the traces.

Pain in my leg, up and down it goes,
from my hip to my knee and into my toes.

Spots and bumps upon my skin,
an expression of pain deep within.

Pain in my shoulder and in my neck,
stress on my spine and down my back.

Crooked teeth and crooked feet,
without them, I'd be incomplete.

A mouth unloved too small, too meek,
desiring the freedom to smile and speak.

And what if I loved these unloved parts I see?
Would I find the healing, the beauty that's in me?

So, let's start the loving, let the healing begin.
And my body can finally mend from within.
