Bone Thin Pretty.
I'm breathing
with my own lungs today.
Sampling savory scents,
fresh out of the heavens.
I'll sip the nutrients
right outta the soil
through my cylindrical toes.
Yes, today I'm gonna live.
I've seen the prism
for what it is
though its been seeing me
as something else;
an amorphous monstrosity.
It's an illusionary instrument.
No longer will I be that Image.
I'm going to be more than Bone Thin Pretty.
Today I'll swallow the sunlight;
All my energy returned to me.
I'll be satiated and content,
My body finally giving its consent.
I'll happily embrace this
victorious form.
My eyes are alive again,
awakened by the healthy glow
emanating from every pore.
This no longer defines me.
I'm going to be more than Bone Thin Pretty.

I loved this!
I loved the way ot explored the emotions, it went through what people think, and what people feel
Then the end, the two lines, they just knocked me off my feet!
Just Me Pretty
We should all be that, and I just loved it
Vividly described
Beautiful
Thank you so much
