My Body

We’re so quick to surrender our bodies. We give in without being completely respected, appreciated, or loved. We give in without resistance, without fully realizing that that person can very easily walk away. Leaving us empty. Again. Yes- we all seek a connection. We all seek the closeness and warmth of another human being. Though as much as our bodies and our hearts want exactly that, our souls need it as well. The problem is, we only think of our bodies. We don’t think about the connection that our minds and souls need. Yes, the flesh is weak. Too weak, sometimes. The mind is stronger, yet. I just know that I’m tired of giving my body to those who don’t appreciate it. To those who don’t truly love me. To those who are only in my life for the time being. My body is the only thing I truly “own”- if we can call it that. I want to be loved mind and soul too, not just my body. I want to give it to the person who will love me completely. All of me. For the rest of my life.
