Dear Body| Poem by 14 year old from Aligarh
Stand back and listen to 14 year old Maryam from Aligarh who pens this stunning note to her body. Must read!
She goes to Al Barkaat public school.
Dear body,
Darling, you’re beautiful
Just the way you are.
Your size, shape, or color
Does not define who you are.
Oh how I wish you could see yourself
Through my eyes,
Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise,
You came through it all the way, flying
Through the skies.
When you smile,
The look in your chocolate brown eyes,
Oh, that look! Could outshine the sun in the skies.
You are an alluring woman,
Shining like a morning star.
Like a queen carrying her jewels,
Carry your flaws and scars
Because darling,
You’re beautiful, just the way you are.
