“I have forgiven my hands
for always trying to mold my body
into something that it has
never been able to become.
I have forgiven my eyes
for seeing myself as someone
who can never be fixed,
who can never be loved by
anyone who is worth the wait.
I have forgiven my skin
for never properly healing,
for never being as flawless
and neat as I always tried
to make it. But mostly I forgive
myself for always wanting
to be someone different
when really I am someone
who is perfectly fine
exactly the way I am.”
