BODY IMAGE Poem, by David Villa

I feel most beautiful when I am unseen,
When every inch of my body is covered.
When sweaters and socks,
Pajama pants and beanies,
All hug me tight like no one ever has

Let me be invisible,
Holed up in my shell of garments,
For at least a little bit,
So that I can be loved
By me alone

Let me be indivisible.
A black hole
That can hardly be perceived
A singularity
That holds my whole sum

Let me be intangible,
Ethereal and phantasmal,
In a realm of my own,
Unbothered as I weep
Silent tears
