my body, my home

Delicious,

yummy,

rich!

I have understood for more than a decade now,

life is temporary and death is by design.

This is not forever, my ancestors confirmed it.

Life has many changes, I have lived through timeliness.

Cycles are just like the waves that break the ocean.

Even so,

to understand my body is my home,

has not come as naturally.

The only one that will keep me here,

the one I have until I no longer am.

This beautiful skin that covers me in a hug,

the organs that keep my healthy and soft,

systems that work inside me and for me.
