Women’s bodies are ethereal.
No—
Not the kind of bodies
You’d see in magazines,
Runways shows, or even those
In tv.
They’re unrealistic,
in some way.
Whenever I—
No,
Not just I—
But whenever people
Would be looking at men’s bodies,
It’s just normal. There’s no sense of excitement.
Unlike women’s, theirs are like art.
Not allowed to be touched—
But to only be respected
and to be adored at
by a specific person.
They shouldn’t feel ashamed
nor insecured for such naturalistic flaws.
Stretch-marks,
Hairs on noticeable places,
Or even unwanted skin—
Such naturalistic things
that you call “flaws”
Aren’t even flaws to begin with.
In my view,
They still are
a part of the art-like beauty within women.
Not all paintings look detailed
and not all songs sound pleasant.
Everything in this world
Have their own kind of imperfections—
7 billion people could tell you about them—
But if you were to show your art to someone specific—
someone realistic
yet loving at the same time,
You’ll be rewarded with glorious praise
that no supermodel nor any actress
could ever long for.
That rather than being complimented by the words “you’re beautiful” or “you’re ****
By a thousand people,
You’ll wake up to the comfort of your bed with one rightful person
Who’ll fully embrace the softness of your own skin—
Kiss the fragility of your torn-up heart—
Hug you.
Kiss you again,
Then whisper the words,
“I love your soul.”
Day-by-day—
Night-by-night—
Truthfully—
Eternally—
Everlastingly.

Backstory:
I just randomly thought about this poem while writing my speech for Oral Communications. Also, sinadya kong 3-3-3-4-5 yung consonant scheme nang last lines
