An Ode To My Body.

Hello body, how do you feel today?

Same as everyday.

Your curves make you feel like less of a man's body,

You feel trapped.

Not trapped in the wrong shape,

But in their perception of you.

The curves make you feel wronged.

They say you're one way,

When you're another.

You want to run away.

But that solves nothing.

Hide your curves.

Baggy shirt, 

Baggy pants,

Binder,

Tape.

Hide your curves,

But acknowledge they're there.

For when you hide them again it'll be for good.
