Bodies
We blame haircuts and cheesecake
Horizontal stripes and leggings
but there is nothing wrong with our bodies
In 1 hour your heart produces enough energy to lift one ton of steel three feet off the ground
Even if your thighs touch when you lift it
Your eye can distinguish up to a million different colors
Even if that eye is surrounded by wrinkles
Your skin secretes antibacterial substances that kill the germs it touches
Even if you’re covered in stretch marks
There is nothing wrong with your bodies
They are doing their jobs
And we ought to be proud
