An Ode to My Feet

I have hated you for so long

I remember the day I realized you weren’t conventionally beautiful

Barefoot swimming in the ocean with others,

Your length, shape and color was different

Something to be laughed at

Something to be hidden

Isn’t it funny how much ground we have covered

Isn’t it ironic how you have always been there for me

Even when I hated you, you loved me

Always there for me

You have grown in me

Acceptance became love

So dear feet,

I love you

Imperfect, true.

That’s why I love you,

You are just mine!!

Mine!
