My Body

**Contains Triggers: pregnancy, childbirth**
My whole being,
A sculpture given
From birth to death,
My letter of presentation
And identity,
My temple that
Holds my soul,
My past, present, and future
Where minutes and hours
Draw timelines,
My walking armor
I wear to confront life,
My seduction weapon
That feeds staring eyes
Craving for beauty
And femininity,
My equipment
I use at work,
My organ that speaks
Of health and wellness,
My best accessory
I wear day and night,
The language
I use to express myself,
My living tool
I carry when taking
Steps on earth.
