I apologize for taking up space,
For existing in this time and place.
For every breath I take, every step I make,
I feel guilty for the room I take.
I try to shrink myself to be small,
To make myself invisible to all.
It feels so wrong, it feels so tough,
Can’t shake the thought “I’m not enough”.
Though it’s hard you have to start-
Love your body, love your heart.
If the fear should make you shy,
Always remember- it’s just a lie.
So take a breath and stand up tall,
Don’t let the world make you small.
Living in your body is not a crime,
Try to believe it, it may take time.
Know this guilt will be your foe,
When it stops you, let it go.
