Leader of a religion,
where I must bare my calves to heal others.
I hold the power to ressurect in a society
that does the most to demolish me.
I speak wisdom like it’s the Bible,
and the first commandment goes -
‘If I can be brave, so can you!’
I’m a walking miracle.
I couldn’t possibly let my flesh sway and vibrate like that,
without being so,
could I?
Because when you look like me,
self-love is just as miraculous
as catching 153 fish.

“I write about a personal topics that are close to my heart. I think it's so important for everyone to share their stories and words, it makes the world a much more beautiful and interesting place when we do. You never know who your words might help.”
