I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
My body is home, my body is home
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
So try this, take your hands over your bumpy lovebody naked
And remember the first time you touched someone with the sole purpose of learning all of them
Touched them because the light was pretty on them and the dust in the sunlight danced the way your heart did
Touch yourself with a purpose, your body is the most beautiful royal
Fathers and uncles are not claiming your knife anymore, are not your razor, no, put the sharpness back
Lay your hands flat and feel the surface of scarred skin
I once touched a tree with charred limbs
The stump was still breathing but the tops were just ashy remains
I wonder what it's like to come back from that because sometimes I feel a forest fire erupting from my wrists
And the smoke signals sent out are the most beautiful things I've ever seen
Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet and brother, arm wrapping shoulders, and remember this is important
You are worth more than who you fuck, you are worth more than a waistline
You are worth more than beer bottles displayed like a drunken artifact
You are worth more than any naked body could proclaim in the shadows
More than a man's whim or your father's mistake
You are no less valuable as a size 16 than a size 4
You are no less valuable as a 32a than a 36c
Your sexiness is defined by concentric circles within your wood, it is wisdom
You are a goddamn tree stump with leaves sprouting out
Reborn
