Jul 2019
tell me i'm beautiful
I hope that when you looked at me and told me I was beautiful,
You didn't just look at my face.
I want you to look into me;
Into eyes that watch wildfires burn,
I want you to study the scars and stories that mark my skin.
At the wrinkles and creases from years of scrunched noses,
Furrowed brows,
And unceasable laughter.
But maybe all you did was look.
Look at the way my hips curve
And my hair curls,
The length of my legs,
The width of my chest.
But I hope that you know
That my body is not what makes me beautiful.
