DYLAN CARRTER REDSHAW
Life is short
I love my body
I love it because it changes which means I am
Alive
My mom said I should take care of myself
Shave my legs
What if taking care of myself is not shaving
What if I want my hair
What if I love it
What if I love my stomach
And I don’t care if anyone sees
What if every inch of me was Free to Breathe&Sleep&Grieve&Grow
What if my Body was only my Body and
Here is my Soul.
What if I showed you what’s underneath?
What if I choose to be Beautiful
All Of Me All Of The Time and I Know it and I Show it and I Clap my Hands and This Body Dances
All Bodies Do
What if there was no body?
What if It’s Alone
What if you do it Alone and no body can touch you because Your Body is Yours and you finally SEE THE CHOICE LOUD AND CLEAR TO
LOVE YOUR BODY ON YOUR OWN like you
Know you Love
Life.
Deep down. If no one was here
Would you still keep living?
What if your body was yours
Fully yours. What if you had never given
What if no one took
What if you weren’t
What if the world
What if I wish to be undesired by all who have ever desired me
I Know
I Am
Just Another Body
But to Someone. To Many.
To Me
My Body is a
church that does not Exist.
Sacred.
Heaven. Is something I’ve been thinking of,,
Something
Indescribable
Indestructible. You. Can’t. Reach. every little birthmark and everything and SO
LIFE IS SHORT WHAT IF
I SAID ALL THIS
ALL ABOUT MYSELF
I LOVE WHO I AM
I LOVE HOW I GROW
WHAT IF THIS IS MY RELIGION
WHAT IF I DON’T NEED REASONS
WHAT IF I SAID IT.
WHAT IF I MEANT IT
WHAT IF I AM JUST HERE
IN THE PRESENT
THE LOVERS
BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER
I DON’T KNOW HOW WE MADE IT HERE
BUT HERE I AM
