I am not my heavy thighs
nor the roundness of my face
I am not the slender length of my fingers
nor the graceful curve of my neck
I am not defined by the sum of my physical parts
for I am not my body
I am not cut from a pattern
nor molded from clay
I am creative expression
and wondrous exploration
I am quick wit
and generous smiles
I am loving
and steadfast determination
I am indelible spirit
glorious and unique
I am what no one else can be
simply and brilliantly...
me
