Body Art
Moles tiny on my face plus one at my right side waist
Marks like tiger claws grazed across my inner heavy thighs
Contrast to a slender torso
Featuring flat plains of flesh
But the attention are set to my bruises and scars
Some judge the unpleasant sight
The next group admire the story
As I seek the hopeful light
I hope to everyone that there’s more to see
From this striving peculiar girl
Just being free
Nature´s tattoos in all shapes and sizes
Tall to small, thin to plump, every figure should be valued and seen
Diets, scalpels, and heavy dumbbells
Tools for unreachable satisfaction and temporary prizes
Plenty people discontent with genes, especially teens
What is beauty some will say?
A visible fantasy or unnoticeable reality
Inspiration merged with insecurities fueled by media
Validation against true identity, who should we be?
There´s a problem unsolved
Common, but overlooked
Serious, yet disregarded
With a world inhabited of blind people
The solution is lens of confidence and genuine encouragement
Numerous sculpted masterpieces to admire, these painted body marks of mine and yours
