My stretch marks aren’t art
You romanticize my body
just because it isn’t yours
to weigh, measure, and iron
I hear tiger stripes
I see zippers
My body’s housed my many attempts
To escape

WOW! This might be my favorite that I’ve read so far!
the line “My body’s housed my many attempts
To escape.” is very powerful for me… it says so much in so many ways . a story unto itself in such few words!
