i am fat. i am thin. i am hurt. i am hiding. i am starving. i am dependent. i am self-medicating. i am out- of- control. i am obsessed with my body. i am repulsed when i look in the mirror. i am a distortion of myself. i am young. i am fecund. i am lush. i am round. i am soft. i am the object of your desire. i am powerful. i am a vessel through which life flows. i am the madonna. i am a distortion of myself. i am old. i am sagging. i am drooping. i am bent. i am barren. i am crumbling. i am cemented. i am unrecognizable. i am lonely. i am sick. i am invisible. i am a distortion of myself. i am searching. i am strong. i am bright. i am vital. i am loving. i am joyful. i am gentle. i am compassionate. i am charitable. i am brave. i am worthy. i am trustworthy. i am old. i am young. i am fat. i am thin. i am gay. i am straight. i am sick. i am well. i am rich. i am poor. i am self-accepting. i am peaceful. i am at peace.
