She Said

by Marie Lundgren

I'm big she said
my hair is sometimes flat
I like to be comfortable
in easy slip-on shoes
and I laugh
Oh how I laugh
Loud and deep
Like the waves hitting the beach
I'm no tiny thing

I'm big and you'll see me she said
You'll hear me
You'll listen
When I move, when I walk
my body sways
I've got curves and cleavage
like no other
I can be glamorous
I can be trendy
But I'm so much more
than the package you see
than the clothes I wear
than my hairstyle

I'm a soul she said
compassion
understanding
Love
I can be inspiring
My emotions number
like stars in the sky
I'm unique
my thoughts
my experiences
I'm big and joyous
I love being me!
