untitled
my therapist tells me
in an era where conservative ideas of womanhood
take hold
they want you weak, vulnerable, and small
continuing to eat is an act of resistance,
fueling my body is an act of resistance,
taking up space is an act of resistance
and so i fight.

I’ve been thinking about this topic so much. Thanks for offering this gem of a poem that reminds us all that our existence is resistance.
I hope that my “taking up space” will be helpful in our resistance. I’m also verbal.
Thanks for a thoughtful poem
