Body Positive

Lalitha Ramanathan posted under PenMuse-45 Poetry on 2022-10-16



I brace my flawed physique with shame. Some curves, some flab, and stretch-marks, gross. I'm far from perfect; faults abound, Each blemish dents my weary soul. Some people mock me, laugh, and judge. I dwell with them, is that their grudge?                                                                                                                                                                         Alas! I wish they knew my tale, For they should hear this spiel of grit. Each scar a prize; a battle won. I'll flaunt these; joyful, poised, and proud. For praise, my heart shall no more crave, I'm perfect every way, and brave!   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
