Over Simplified Personal Evolution
A strong memory I have
Is of wanting to wear a training bra
only to because my
best friend did.
A strong memory I have
Is of needing to shave
my pubic hair
only because it pleased a boyfriend.
A strong memory I have
Is of being swayed one way
only because that's what I felt
was required of me.

Now I'm strength because
I choose not to wear a bra.
Its how I feel free as a person.
Now I'm strength because
I choose not to shave anything.
Its how my body feels best.
Now I'm strength because
I don't need anyone to tell me how
to dress, how smooth and nubile to be,
how to be
Me.
This is an over simplification
of pretty much everything,
but my point is coming across.
Shift how you think, if its only
to please them.
Please. You.
There is nothing more
freeing and enlightening
and sexy and strong
than making my own decisions,
and that those decisions
are pleasing to me.
Wouldn't you say?
