it’s unfairly rare, and so goddamn difficult but sometimes I can stand to look at myself naked and think this is right this is the home I’ll never have to leave this is mine this body is a bloom, always shedding petals growing anew twining into foreign foliage retreating when conditions get too harsh I need to remind myself: I love you you beautiful thing your fragility has never compromised for the sharpness of your edges the possibility of you breaking has never diminished the beauty of all your pieces
