Poetry reading: Positive Affirmation.

I admire that I'm especially strong. Possessing Amazonian thighs can't be wrong, I guess. I didn't know I was this attractive. I didn't have to be so combative when it comes to your physique, please don't be your harshest critique positive Affirmation. So I hope you enjoyed this poem. And I wrote this poem to reflect the war in my own mind and my battle with body image. If you notice, one of the voices was more positive and the other one was more critical

They've compelled, they've caressed and embraced, and they've toiled creating connections. A life story coiled thank you for this. Keep doing what you're doing so well. Have a great time. Bye

Hi, Candy. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of your work. It gave me so much of immense joy. The metaphors which you have used like nutella for the color of the skin and leaf of freckles. So beautifully written. And I must tell you, you are a great poetist. And I should say this to you, that keep writing, keep uploading. Loved your work

Hello and thank you so much for your high compliments, first of all and also what beautiful words you spoke in response and I really love the part about your hands that have carried sorrow and joy. It tells me a lot about what you see in your reflection and I think definitely resilience and strength

Hello and thank you so much for really appreciating this poem. And I am glad that you love the imagery, especially that I used a lot of fun, relatable imagery like nutella and leaves and stuff. So thanks for noticing that and such high compliments. I am most truly a humble writer who's exploring her talents and I'm very greatly encouraged by your words and I will most assuredly be writing and putting out more work as life inspires me
