Goddess

big woman

You were worshiped for eons
desired and loved
the temple priestess
Divinity in flesh
immortalized in sculpture
exalted in canvass
glorious to behold
heavenly to hold
intoxicating to all senses

but forget this truth
believe in lies instead
submit to exploitation
hate You and Your body
fashion mags are bibles
the media speaks truth
let the shallow define You
they can't be wrong
so reality must be flawed

ignore history and biology
they cannot mean anything
choose starvation and denial
diet and purge and despair
hide Your beauty in shame
deny Your senses and desire
revile warmth and softness
and seek to become ugly bone
and never ever love You

for if You knew Your beauty
if You knew the desire You inspire
if You knew Your Divinity
if You knew Your power
if You knew Your potential
if You knew Your worth
if You knew truth
if You loved You
like You should love You


You would see through the lies
You would love Your body
You would accept nothing less
than all You deserve and desire
You would deny those that deny You

none could chain or shame You
none could use or abuse You
none could make You hate You
if You only knew that You are
