I Am

I

am

beautiful.

That's right.

Hairy, big hips and belly, glasses.

Beautiful.

And I am strong.

Weepy, emotional, intimidated, confused.

You heard me.

And I am worthy.

Sinful, angry, vengeful, jealous.

And you know what?

I care what people think.

I care how they feel.

I care about what happens to them when I am.

And I am here,

right here with you.

I am in this room,

breathing, feeling, being.

I am.

And so are you.

We are!

And, oh!

Aren't we beautiful?
