SomeBody(poem)

SomeBody    

When you say “body”,

I wish our minds didn’t drift right down

To what our consciousness does when the lights go out

A heart,

A soul,

A place we can call home.

A casket holding 

And never letting go

A product of parents,

Raised with unconditional love,

And their sacrifices of everything

Bringing us to where we are. 

Caring for us when sick

Being there from start to finish

They cared for our body

And the life within it.

Your body is not just curves

 It’s scars

It’s care

It’s a life 

Please be aware...

Our parents did not bring our body into this world,

To be used and opened,

To be discarded 

As if broken

-Sanjana Karthik
