her body tells her things
she doesn’t want to know
so many lies uncovered
no matter where she goes
that she has to do this thing or that
just to fit right in
when it only takes her the farthest
from who she really is within
when every scar gets hidden
and every imperfection denied
her body never lies though
it uncovers every truth she tries to hide
and as her mind overrules her
and always undermines
her body tells her anyway
every single time
trust yourself, it says to her,
you know what to do
don’t listen to the naysayers
who’ve long forgotten their truth
it’s in your every heartbeat
and every word you say
it’s hidden behind your smiles
when you say, i’m okay
until the day you face the truth,
confront each self-fulfilling lie
your body will always tell its truth
even when you let its real beauty die

Another excellent poem with razor sharp reflection. So true. Self image, whether truthful or not, can wreak havoc in our lives unless the balance between positive attributes and negative perceptions are in balance. Easy to say, nearly impossible to do.
Thank you so much! Balance is always going to be tough to achieve in almost everything, especially in our world these days. Too many distractions.
