STOP

i’m not -

STOP.

i’m not -

STOP.

but i’m not -

I SAID STOP.

I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.

I don’t want to hear you say

you hate

who I made you to be

what I

in My perfection

chose for you

the body I made a home

for two children

the hair you feel

you must pluck and shave

the smile you wish

was a little more straight

the heart that loves

too deeply to feel safe

the courage that makes you

feel too loud and forceful

the things you feel

a need to fix

are things I have given

I AM

the giver of all good gifts

made you a gift

to those you hold

in your heart
