My Body

Is strong, fit, capable
I can hold a human above my head
Can hold myself, upside down, standing on 
                           my hands

I can climb a mountain
Power through the ocean
I can hold people, give them comfort
Be a soft surface
Be a hard restraint 

So imagine how pointless it is
To say ‘wow Emily, I think you have lost weight’
Is a number all that matters?
When I am saving someones life
Or helping someone put their lives back together 

Why is the 215lbs the thing that matters
When the thing that impacts the world is 
                         my actions
