Pride

Pride

​I felt pride because I was thin,
as if I didn't need anything.
But I was just pretending
to not need food, not need loving.


Why be ashamed of gaining weight, no longer be skinny,
as if giving our bodies what it needs is something wrong?
We say: I am not worth it, but we are not the body we feed.


Now I take care of my own needs.
I no longer wait for others to give and guess what they are.
I ask for what I need. I say what I want to say and eat without hesitation,


because I listen to my body now,
not my mother, father or others who put limitations on me.
