Don’t worry about your body.
It isn’t as small as it once was,
But honestly, the world needs more of you.
You look in the mirror
like you’ve done something wrong,
But you look perfect.
Anyone who says otherwise is telling a lie
to make you feel weak.
And you know better.
You’ve survived every single day,
for as long as you’ve been alive.
You could spit fire if you wanted.

Do not make yourself smaller for anyone. Do not laugh more quietly, do not talk more softly, do not move out of the way to make room for men on the sidewalk. Take up space. Stretch your arms into the sunshine. Do not make yourself smaller. Make yourself as large as you deserve.
