Today I clutched myself by the sides,
pulled her softly in,
and apologized for hating what she was.
I tried to love my arms,
and I aimed to stretch my fingers in and out until they too knew,
Just how neat they had come to be.
I touched my hair,
and twisted it around my fingers and tried to believe that it too,
could be beautiful or important.
I thanked my blood vessels,
congratulated my heart for working so hard,
and just held myself here listening to the beat of my very own blood.
