BODY IMAGE Poem: who does this body belong to?, by Shania Allen

often ask myself if I could change myself
physically for you, would I?
Would I let go of my girlhood memories and horrors of being a woman?
Would I say to hell with my breast? Figure you know what’s best.
If I traded bodies with your other lover, would you choose me again?
Or would you choose someone else and I’d be
stuck in another body I feel misplaced in?
