We wear face masks
while she is working
and I see myself
transform, changing colour

into a super being
blue as a goddess
the decay of my body
well camouflaged
seemingly charmed away

What do I show
in this skin?
Myself, almost
touchable?
To strange eyes
I could not be more intimate

we all have opinions.
no matter how
seemingly "tough",
and "cool" you may be --
we all have atleast one.

controversial ones maybe.

though your opinion
should never be
hateful towards one's
happiness
or
body.

yes, we all have opinions.
but it's not your
happiness.
and it's certainly
not
your
body.

it's not your responsibility
to comment on it.

so don't.

why would you?

what kind of sick,
twisted mind
do you have
where you would
need to comment
on that?

Repairs all the time,

to stay myself, my meta-


morphical body.

I need to get used to
looking in the mirror
and not seeing a machine
but a woman
in a
human body

By itself I was
myself, the souled
body with my name

Mirrors helped me
as a teenager to see myself
my hair, my nose, my shape

A life later
I split my body
off, more and more

I distance myself
from the defects of
old age and illness

to continue to recognise
myself as who I want
to have become

spiritually safe and free
rocking in the wonder
until I am no more
The emergence of dualism, the separation of the body and the (supposedly immaterial) mind

Everyone tells me I'm gorgeous
That I have stunning features to die for,
But I must have gone blind,
Because I can't see them anymore.

When I know they're being honest,
I still think it's a lie,
I look into the mirror
I'm so ugly I want to cry.

I see a disabled person,
Or someone who's lost their arm or knee,
I see much potential in them
But can't see it in me.

Why is it my vision is impaired?
And I can't marvel at what others view
Why do I contend with myself
And see so much beauty in you?
What I see at my school - everyone thinks everyone is more beautiful than them.

Oneness.
I cannot separate you from my Consciousness.
I am in a state of physical focus,
Yet, movement happens in every nook and cranny of this biological whole.
The cell is a micro-universe; its laws govern it.
Revolves in a closed space, separated by membranes and fluids.
They are the discrete, wrapping endless spaces.
Torn DNA ties, someday, will allow me to drop,
Like an empty jug, my physicality will be shattered into atoms.
For now, we are still together: I and you, YOU and me.
For better or worse, in health and sickness,
in love and letting go.
I want to last with you as long as possible if fate allows,
in progressive physical frailty,
We will collapse into each other, saying goodbye inevitably to this union.
Standards, tables, and charts of what you should look like are foreign to me.
I don't need perfection.
I like you more now than when you were young.
Others say that this acceptance comes with age.
After so many years, without fear, I'm back in deep water.
We float lightly, you and I, in an existential union.
We observe the state of passing, and we are with it, so strangely comfortable.
Our child is growing.
Day by day, hour by hour, he is approaching the world of adulthood.
In some time, already without you, in a silent eternity,
I will see, I don't yet know how unfamiliar the faces of people    
will be.
I know that I will miss you and the pain of physicality.
The thought that you were with me all the time
will give me solace.
My body,
I think, I already understand the nostalgia of the angels.
They desire just once, for a short time
to flow into the Physical boat to feel how it is to be a Human Being

The measurements will never be right
The numbers on the scale will never be small enough
The clothes are always too big or too tight

Eating anything is eating too much
Excuses like I already ate and such
Until I'm pretty there is something more important to feed

They won't like me unless I run
Mile after mile it is never enough
Try to convince myself that it's fun
To push my limits even if it's tough

I never look right
Nothing is flattering
I'm not going to fight
That my hope is shattering

I got thinner and they started to talk
The compliments came
They don't know the road I had to walk
I have no one to blame

I wanted to starve
Like it wouldn't do me harm
They dont notice when I skip meals
Until I show the pain on my arm

I need friends not food
Not thinking about it is key
I just cant change my mood

They know what's going on
But they will never know how deep
The knife goes when I see something wrong
Then again depression will start to seep

Every time I eat I feel like I fail
After there is always a blood trail
I won't eat until I’m frail
I really do despise The Scale

Make her your *****.
She'll grow dependent.
Feed her nutrients.
She'll be resplendent.

Membranes seal her in.
What a perfect fit!

I am dressed in a gown
A blue paper gown
With the ribbons tied at the front

A crepe paper gown
Open at the front
The kind you scrunch and fist into gift bags
Crepe paper, but thicker, like asking the deli man for a bigger slice

But the white deli paper is folded over my lap
A big paper towel, a napkin
