Never been skinny

In the mirror's reflection, I see

A body labeled, judged, defined.

For years, I've carried the weight

Of expectations, relentless, unkind.

From childhood's innocence

To the halls of high school's glare,

I've borne the burden of "big,"

A weight I was never meant to bear.

Diet after diet, I've tried

To mold myself into society's mold.

But each attempt only deepened

The void within, bitter and cold.

Counting calories became my ritual,

Every bite a tally, every sip a sin.

Yet the hunger within never faded,

A craving deeper than what's within.

And now, as the numbers on the scale

Begin to shrink, so does my spirit's cry.

For what good is a smaller body

If the soul within continues to die?

So let me shed not just pounds,

But the shackles of societal decree.

For true beauty lies not in size,

But in the courage to simply be.

The way he loves

It’s not the way he touches me beneath my clothes

It’s the way he always send 2 heart emojis when he says he loves me never just one

It’s the way he opens my door without a word

It’s the way his thumb curls on my hand

It’s the way he gives me his jacket when the slightest shiver touches my skin

It’s the way his arms come around my waist and his lips press the softest kiss on my neck

It’s the way he holds my hand as we pray

It’s the way that No matter what we say lt always end in I love you

It’s the way that not a day goes by without hearing him say I love you

It’s the way that No matter what I say he always says I am beautiful

It’s the way without fail that he prays faithfully

It’s the way he holds Jesus closer to his heart then anyone

It’s the way he makes me feel at ease without trying

It’s the way he loves with the love God gave him
