Tb to my submission to @writers_creed weekly prompt on ig🤷🏻‍♀️🖤
________________________________

Dear body ,

Years and years I've been learning about you ;
Your flaws —in the mirror first thing I see ,
And each day passing – the deeper I loathe you.
Too much, too little
Granted, You've never been enough for me.

I hate your too thick thighs
The slight bend of your back
These too narrow eyes
I hate your belly not-flat.

I'm sorry
For my words , pinpoint needles in your delicate skin—they scar you.
For how I've always crushed you , deflated your confidence.
I'm sorry
I only learnt your flaws and how to hate you.

They told me to write you a love letter
They told me to be fair
I'm sorry I could not lie
about how ugly I view you.

Dear body ,
You've been so kind to me
I've been so hard on you , pushing and punishing.
I'm sorry.
For not loving you the way I should've
For not being fair though you've always been there.
For magnifying your cracks and burying your unique specialities.

Years and years lost , for I've been taught wrong
But I'm learning the right way
I promise you one day
I'll love you as much as you loved me.
