Fight the Battle

Be gentle with your body; it's the only one you have.

Take care of it and cherish your thick thighs,

Don’t lift them up when you sit down

Stop squeezing your stomach

It looks beautiful and perfect as it is.

Cry all you want

Let the tears fill the river full of flowers and fish,

Allow freedom to guide the light in your heart.

Don’t be afraid of your face

I know someone out there adores it.

Your arms aren’t big or small,

Don’t hide them.

The scars on you

They tell a story,

Of how you fought hard

Be proud of the war you’ve won.

I know you’re hurt badly

You’ll recover soon, don’t worry

So, sob if you need to, love

Let your wishes guide the light in your heart,

The stars will keep you company too

Relish in their light,

Until you find your own.
