My thighs and I watch this video weekly as our couples therapy session.

[@kaylamarie6392]

Ohmygod same

[@dieforglitter]

"My thighs say feminism, bitch." this poem is amazing.

[@magical_maniac]

And my thighs say: "YEAH, WHAT SHE SAID."

[@MsAlaskanGirl907]

Haha, yes!

[@KeifGoblin]

"My thighs say what the fuck is a thigh gap" SAME

[@KeifGoblin]

b bb hmm?

[@1Dfangirl97]

My thighs say thank you for this, it's amazing,

[@jessicab3209]

"my thighs hope your thighs have a great day" yaassss

[@pammorrison88]

my thighs say thank you for saying what I could not.

[@MeaganMustache18]

My thighs cannot count how many times we have watched this and we will probably still get goosebumps after watching this for the billionth time.

[@toriibarlow]

"My thighs say what the fuck is a thigh gap." LOVE IT.

[@angelicat4442]

There is an element of courage and confidence in this poem that I would like to borrow for a little while, please.

[@angelicat4442]

@AYLIN KOHAN A little bit. I revisit this poem sometimes when I need help finding it.

[@MinniMouseLuver143]

I couldn't relate to this more. I can't stop crying.

[@badfi5hie]

i love everything about this i want to hug this woman

[@6lackreinventive91]

"My thighs..hope your thighs..have a great..day!" 😹

[@LizziexParty]

I fucking love the last part. Such a simple concept that is mostly always overlooked, "your body is YOUR BODY." No one else's, unless you want it to be, and that is absolutely fine since it's YOUR body.

[@franinconverse]

Amazing ninja poem. Think it's just gonna be a fun jokey poem then half way through it hits you in the face with feels.

[@ReallyRedPanda]

This is arguably my favourite poem on the channel, I've listened to it so many times and it blows me away every. damn. time.

[@fashiondaisy101]

I can't go a day without listening to this poem, absolutely amazing Desirée!

[@MassLaughs]

Where has button poetry been all my life?

[@AmeliaRose169]

I've listened to this a countless number of times now. But it never fails to inspire me, pick me up, push me forward. Even the couple negative, hateful assholes who've commented on this just keep pushing me forward. My thighs...well, my thighs say replay.

[@phoenixnightingale5842]

My thighs love this. :D

[@sierrareigns6843]

Her words are everything and her delivery is...wow. She goes through the entire emotional spectrum. It's beautiful.

[@annbailey2642]

and my thighs say this is a fantastic poem

[@tigercubrawr159]

Holy shit I'm not the only one who wears the same pair of jeans for like a week. Thank god!

[@mayalong2652]

"My thighs say 'feminism, bitch!'""My thigh thighs hope your thighs have a great day!"xD woop woop! you tell 'em!

[@rslynesays]

slam poetry is so good because they say everything in my mind that I couldn't put into words before

[@AshleyNiaya]

I love how she was full of emotion, never knew a poem about thighs could be so powerful until now. Bless you.

[@fundinkuta7082]

his poem has such an amazing rhythm. At 1:52 begins the crescendo to a symphony of self-empowerment. And then Jill Scott's Golden at the end is just the cherry on top. Love it!

[@sthepannylavanwaycruz9162]

"My thighs say what the fuck is a thigh gap."

[@theoneunslept2093]

Steph loves you me until I found social media...

[@user-jz2tt8gy9v]

Ten years later, and this poem still hits me right in the feels❤

[@dottiyjones7882]

I love love love how this poem begins as a seeming simple body image poem, but turns into a powerful, painful, proud statement of self-loathing and makes in important point of how you need to love yourself.

[@MrJacobGR]

Consistently I see passionate and powerful poems from Button Poetry's productions, but this transcends that. It is rare that I feel I've found a poem that covers all the angles, that is well-rounded. This is complete. It is art. It is a masterpiece.

[@charliebinde4748]

I've watched this over and over again the past few days and it still leaves me speechless.

[@livylou2446]

I keep re-watching this. She draws people in with humor and hits them with the most powerful message. She holds nothing back. Amazing. She is perfect!!

[@coltoncollins9917]

Haha. "MY thighs say what the fuck is a thigh gap?!" Bahaha

[@alexusvoss6306]

ive watched this countless times and its always amazing

[@ivyburns1329]

Honestly still so relevant. Just found it again after years and I love it all over again.

[@honesttogoddess5027]

[@DbPrOdUcTiOnS83]

That was fantastic. i am proud of my thighs a little bit more because of these words.

[@NickNakorn]

Astonishing and moving performance.

[@jamiezepeda4479]

Word for word felt and related..simply beautiful.

[@Elmerssglue]

I've watched this so many times I'm well on my way to memorizing it. It's the best.

[@daniellehudak248]

[@clairebernstein6189]

I don't have words for how much I love this, I just REALLY want to hug her.

[@ariannatortolero9067]

i just discovered this poem... i've always had a... thing with my thighs, i always felt they were an issue. "i shouldn't wear shorts, or a dress, or a swimsuit. why would i reveal my thighs? no. never". until a year ago (more or less). i started a journey through self acceptance, and more importantly: self love. the path is rough and tough, and so am i. and turns out, i am made of so many things. i am music, i am lyrics, i am poetry, i am movies, i am desserts, i am tears, i am sweat, i am sex, i am flowers, i am colors, i am dresses and shorts and swimsuits. i am love. right now i love myself so damn much and i wear whatever the fuck i want, sometimes with a little bit of fear, but always bold. bold as my thighs. you can't imagine how much i cried listening to this. have an amazing evening.

[@DoYouSpeakManifestation]

wow... I can't stop watching this. I hope you know that you have brought a lot of happiness and neck chills into my life. this poem means a lot to me.

[@SimplyMayaBeauty]

This woman is amazing :O

[@YoFreakyMother]

I paused this video to go do something real quick and when I stood up my thighs felt so fucking sore, because I worked them out today! And I just blurted out "My thighs say SIT THE FUCK DOWN!!" an kinda had a giggle.

[@kbeezya]

This is pure perfection! It left me speechless. THANK YOU Desiree for this work of art!
