“To my body, I am sorry for all the times I tried to tear you apart There was hatred in my heart And destruction in my mind I am sorry for all the times I stared at you for hours pointing out Every little blemish, pimple and stretch mark I now understand they’re nothing to be ashamed of I am sorry for all the times I kept you starving and breathless Just so I could diminish you And have as less of you as possible I am sorry for all the times I gave you away to strange men Who played their words right and told me They’d take care of you, because I never could I am sorry for all the times I tried to do terrible things to you, But I promise you, my love, All those times are long gone. And now, You are mine to cherish and take care of.”
