I Am

I am more than a mother

More than the tiny humans that came from my body

I am more than my body

More than my uterus, my thighs, my ass, my breasts

I am more than just a pretty face

Take that “You’re pretty but…” and shove it

I am more than the good child,

The reliable one,

The “Can you do this for me?”

I am a ball of energy.

Fire and Electricity

Sizzling-Popping-Crackling

I am more than my anxiety

Waiting to come to the surface,

Tingling sensations from the inside out

Making every part of me feel alive.
