There is Nothing Wrong With You: A Poem

You have lived too long under imposed, power-driven rules and a biased system which forced you to comply with limiting perceptions of what’s ‘normal.’ The time has come to unearth the real you and shed the belief that you need to be fixed.

I was sent the urge to write the below whatever-you-wanna-call it piece this morning in this particular way, and so I did. Hope you find it resonant.

Here’s a little ditty I was inspired to riff this morning. Enjoy:)


There is Nothing Wrong With You

You have lived too long under 

fabricated arbitrary

limitations 

set upon you by

old 

                             outdated 

                                 societal 

                                    biased

                                      power-driven

norms. 

What if I told you that 

the things you have been taught 

to perceive about yourself 

as ‘problematic,’

as shortcomings,

as character flaws, 

as inappropriate,

as unacceptable,

as shameful,

as medicatable or

diagnosable

behaviors 

were A*C*T*U*A*L*L*Y 

exquisitely 

  perfectly 

    radiantly 

    brilliantly 

      majestically

N*0*R*M*A*L

and right

for you???

That they were given

to you 

on P*U*R*P*O*S*E?

That they are even 

essential

to be celebrated

embraced

embodied

by you,

and shared

with the world

so that you can

l i v e 

A*U*T*H*E*N*T*I*C*A*L*L*Y

the way you were

purposefully 

designed 

to operate

in this lifetime,

which is to say

so that you would be:

Free.

  Fierce.

    Loving yourself.

      Loving your life…

I am bone tired,

eye-rollingly fed-up with,

maxed-out and

over-drafted by

 pharmacological 

   capitalistic 

      cyber-aggressive

         cosmetic-sick 

             institutionalized

                patriarchy-decided

sovereignty-stealing 

systems 

telling you, and telling me, 

how we are to be

how we are to 

not be.

How about this…

instead:

Be your real self? 

Shame-free.

Guilt-free.

Diagnose-free.  

Self-hatred-free.

IF

you don’t know who that person is

anymore…

or IF you think

you may have 

buried her 

in the back of your

closet

under dusty boxes of 

mementos

in order to deny that

these facets of you

e x i s t

because you were,

once upon a time,

ridiculed

for letting them be seen,

and so you hid the evidence of your

“flaws”

under letters from exes

and

busted luggage,

so that you could be considered

‘n o r m a l’…

and so you would thereby

comply with the

fabricated 

 “acceptable” 

    biased

      power-driven

limiting

shame-creating

norms,

Then I offer this

r e m i n d e r:

there is N*O*T*H*I*N*G

wrong with you.

You are perfect

precisely

the way you are

right now

and have always

been.

Cut the chatter.

Silence the noise.

Halt the scrolling.

Strip away the

imposed

false

beliefs. 

The ridicule. 

The shame.

The numbing.

The denial.

Call forth the real you

who is 

still, ever,

lurking inside

underneath those dusty boxes

of

bent photos and

dresses that no longer

f i t.

The YOU in there may have,

once upon a time,

given her power

away…

But she does not H*A*V*E

to keep

abiding by 

false, 

  fabricated, 

  manufactured, 

    power-driven

rules. 

It is

s a f e

for her

now

to just B*E.

and when she can just

let herself B*E,

She is Free. 

She is Fierce.

She does not apologize.

She Loves Herself.

She Loves Her Life.
