    Hollie Holden’s Poem:


    'Today I asked my body what she needed,

    Which is a big deal

    Considering my journey of

    Not Really Asking That Much.


    I thought she might need more water.

    Or protein.

    Or greens.

    Or yoga.

    Or supplements.

    Or movement.


    But as I stood in the shower

    Reflecting on her stretch marks,

    Her roundness where I would like flatness,

    Her softness where I would like firmness,

    All those conditioned wishes

    That form a bundle of

    Never-Quite-Right-Ness,


    She whispered very gently:

    Could you just love me like this?'

    -Hollie Holden
