looking glass
looking glass
why do i feel shame
so often
when i look your way?
where did i read somewhere
long ago
that there is a list
of ways to be
when gazed upon?
The Book of You
Chapter One through never ending....
smooth skin
clear like a babies
always
aging must not show
narrow lines
hide
round
curves
for they will offend
When was I taught that the lines
my experience on this planet have written
on my eyes
are wrong?
Where did I accept that my soft
round
belly and behind
are
a sign
of failure
Why was did I learn that
there is always something
that is not ok
with
me
?
How has it taken me
forty glorious years
to realize that
this
is
all
CRAP.
