Poetry by Betty

Here is a work of poetry, serving as is an ode to the human body. Self-sufficient, yet deserving of so much care and gratitude.

I apologize for stuffing you like a marionette

To distract my brain from my anxious thoughts.

No matter the hard roads I take you on,

You welcome me back with open arms.


Thank you.


For letting me fit in when I feel stretched out.

When I would rather flee, you hold me down.

For carrying my being in gracious motions

And turning my little thoughts into actions.


Thank you.


I am at home, when I am with you

Therefore, I am at home wherever I go.

Thanks for the food for thought. In this world, nothing truly belongs to us except our own body
