Shapes
I don’t want to cut myself into shapes that please you.
I don’t want to blame you for your preferences either.
For what feels familiar and comfortable to you.
Can I keep my edges while letting go of rigid lines?
Can my shape dance with yours?
Making room for what could be ours?
I think my shape is more complex than what I first thought.
I think your embrace is softer than I first knew.
Who am I to declare that this adventure with you should never change me?
Move me?
Maybe my shape only grows more beautiful with you.
Sometimes with a painful cut.
Sometimes with a languid ripple.
I don’t think I was ever meant to stay the same.
I choose to live, hurt, explore, find out.
I choose you.
