Those stretch marks are not tiger stripes. Instead, they are the waves and ripples in the reflection of the ocean on the side of a boat. They are proof, of a death before birth. Proof of a still born baby's water birth, and how the pool of blood and fluid leftover from the trauma, became salt water poisoned by tears. The red lines are the way her eyes looked. Blood shot and bruised from the previous blows. They are proof that she lived. That the ***** donor that does not deserve the title of father, lived. And that the baby girl is dead. She never got to see her eyes open. Do not romanticize those stretch marks, saying that they are stripes that were earned. They are nothing but scars of a horrifying event that she is reminded of every time she sees a baby, and every time she looks at her body, because she is no tiger.
