Okay
I am not rigid
And I am not sorry
My thighs touch
Sigh
I could stand in front
of the whole world
and still be soft
rounded
and hurtful
But I will be under
western skies soon
and your starving bones
cannot hold me.

I refuse to apologize to people for not being a size 0. No one should have to apologize for being themselves.

In a society that worships love, freedom and beauty, dance is sacred. It is a prayer for the future, a remembrance of the past, and a joyful exclamation of thanks for the present.
