Your body is beautiful - A poem by Louise Oak

Your body is beautiful, it’s the home in which you stay 

It helps you breathe, it helps you laugh,

Do with it what you may 

But after knowing what it does, and the life it lets us live, 

I think I’ll choose to be kind to it, and unconditional love I will give 

It isn’t always easy, to pick the option that’s kind,

My body isn’t perfect, and neither is my mind 

They say nothing feels better than skinny feels, and I used to think that was true

Until I realized there is nothing better than being unapologetically…Lou.
