Shedding The Swarming Suit

[Guest LilyRose]

Here's a poem which I wrote based around my feelings upon shaving my body for the first time after my realization about my true self. I hope that you like it!

Shedding The Swarming Suit

Looking down at Sasquatch feet, I want to throw up;
toes curled up in agony because they should be hiding.

Glaring at the disgusting barb wire growing on legs;
yet the bald knees stick out wanting to be released.

Wearing boxer shorts because of what lies underneath,

it’s a jungle of misery and the monster that hides within.

Groaning because stomach fur is a sea of piercing needles,

prickling upward toward my chest which should be bare.

Despising how flat it is and how there are barbs surrounding it,
and the sticky stubble on my neck cages my throat’s breaths.

Faking my real identity behind an Amazon rain forest beard;
to which I have decided that I cannot maintain any longer.

Infuriating feelings rupture behind the ice blue eyes I possess,
my furrowed flat eyebrows rise and point with sheer anger.

Pulling out tools, I decided that the anger must come to an end;
after a life full of hatred, I knew deep down what I have to do.

Smiling widely and dreaming of my future body was liberating;
and it materialized when I began shedding the swarming suit.

I must've gone through three razors the first time I shaved my body it took hoooours.

Beautiful work. ♥

Yes I can identify too. That was my impossible starting point. Today I am a wonderful miracle of God with so many changes. I thought it took forever, but checking my calender, my baby steps added up in a blink of the grand scheme. Love yourself and all your changes, you too are one of the miracles on your way. Hug.

Anath,

It was an intensely long process for me too. I started at 6PM and I didn't finish until 1AM. I went through 6 razors. Even when I used an electric one and scissors to help tone it down before I did. I compiled all of the hair from one leg and it looked like I skinned a cat! I was so glad that I was in the process that I took a picture of it. I had a long way to go, but it felt so amazing. Thanks for reading!

JodyAnn,

I feel that way too about the grand scheme of things. I spent my life in regret that I existed. But each minute that I removed that hair, I felt happiness and empowered. I would not give those 7 hours up for anything. Each little step I take toward my true self makes each second worth it! Without a question, I am loving myself more each day. Hugs. Thanks for reading as well!

Hair hair, Everywhere

Get rid of it, I don't care

Shave shave is one way

But you'll do it, everyday

Silky smooth, is so nice

Slip and slide, just like ice

You are happy, yes indeed

Forever more, what a need

A pretty girl, yes you are

Stay on track, you'll go far

I feel you there I am part native american, not much hair, but what I do have drive me insane. Like your work, keep me posted on new poems please

Vanna,

That poem was brilliant! I absolutely love it. Especially the last verse, I was glowing by the end of it. It was like a cheer for me! BIG HUGS

Tory,

It's been great talking to you on the chat! My Irish blood gave me way too much hair for my liking. But we want to remove our hair as soon as possible, even if there is less of it. I'll keep you updated!

OMG, I am right there with you Lily, but honestly it's a fight between the two hours it takes to shave my whole body, and the discomfort I get from my body hair, depending on the day, determines which urge wins out.
