Our Body
June 20, 2015
broken shells
ours is too small
ours is too big
break down this carapace
an obstruction
the hard crust hindering

This piece is about individuals viewing their bodies as an obstacle that prevents them from being who they are/what they want to be. But they don't have to be an obstacle. We, as a human race, need to work together and individually towards respecting our own bodies and respecting other people. Our bodies are a gift that enable us to accomplish tasks everyday. Let's respect them instead of hating them.
