Dear Body

By: Dynasty Roque
Dear Eyes,
You see more than I can handle
You are the windows to my heart and soul
I hope nothing we see makes us less whole
Dear Heart,
You may break soon and I know you want to be in the right place
But I fear one day there will be a problem that not even we can face
Dear Mind,
You are my greatest camera, capturing these memories
But sometimes I really want to sleep, please
So can you stop reminding me of the embarrassing things that happened in middle school
Dear Hands,
You are helping me accomplish my dream, so thank you
And I know that I ask a lot of you, but please don't give up on me
Dear Mouth,
I have seen your words cut deeper than any knife
Please continue to tell the truth, but please be careful how you say it
Dear Body,
We work together to try and make it through the world, one day at a time
I know that it is hard sometimes and we want to give up when things go wrong
We will keep on
We will wear these scars with pride
We will be able to say we tried
Together, we are strong
So dear Body,
