she can get if she just
loves her body: intuitively believe
you deserve my touch--any touch
We're in our upper thirties for Christ sake!
We're supposed to be enjoying ourselves.
There is that word again:
supposed:
generally assumed or believed to be the case, but not necessarily so.Assumptions hurt. Pause. Think.
Or don't think
(this is harder than I thought).
She rolls her eyes and suppresses
a wince (she knows how difficult this will be). I promise again.
As much as you want!
All you can want! And more.
- Reject your old mentality
- Honor your hunger; your body
- Respect your body
I want to skip to #s 3-7 and
go straight to #8: respect your body;
expressing the angry spleen.
Now, come to bed, please.

I'm not sure how I feel about this poem. Whether or not it paints me a not-so-good light might be irrelevant. In the end it is my attempt to express my feelings in a way that other people can relate to. Did I succeed? Let me know in the comment section.
