Dear Body

You know that I love you, you know that I do,
and that every single day, I try to be kinder to you.
yet some days I struggle, I’m not going to lie,
if you’re looking for answers, I honestly can’t tell you why.
You are everything I need, everything I should want,
everything to be grateful for, it’s just sometimes I can’t,
I trouble myself to the point of destruction,
with stupid ideals, overcome with seduction.
Pointless imaginings of a better me,
I know I should be accepting and just simply be,
I’m trying, I promise, you must believe me when I say,
I’m doing my best, to simply love you, each day.
