The Home of Your Life

Brought to you by your homebody

Braden Kowitz on commons.m.wikmedia.org

Today, love your body
love every damn inch of it
Its folds, curves and mass

Love its shape
even if no one else does
The skin it’s dressed in
no matter the color
no matter how wrinkled

Love its hair or lack of hair
The face it presents to the world

Love what is there
and isn’t there

Feel the breath of life
rise and fall into the rhythm
of your heartbeat

But don’t
Don’t you dare
beat against yourself

There are plenty who will
push you down
to bolster themselves up
You need not support them

There is only one of you —
a treasure that can never be
replaced — priceless

Your body is the only home
your mind will ever have
