For so long, I tried to hide my legs. The hair on them felt like something wrong, something I had to cover. I thought if I kept them hidden, no one would notice, no one would judge me. I thought smooth skin was the only way to feel beautiful, to be enough. To all the girls who’ve felt this way, who’ve hidden themselves in shame— I see you. I used to feel that too. But the more I tried to hide, the heavier it all became. One day, I asked myself, What if I didn’t care anymore? And so, I stopped hiding. Slowly, I started to let go of the fear. I realized, no one was really looking as hard as I thought. Now, I’m learning to love my body, hair and all. And it feels like enough. #poetry #poem
