These hands of mine have traced
the curves of my body a million times over,
but the sentiment is lost in the way
your touch leads my soul to dance.
You bring color to this mad world
and I see how the grey sky envies you.
No one can strip me bare
of the filters history has lent me
faster than that wanting look you carry.
Here I stand, naked before you,
proud of the scars I’ve earned. Love me or
hate me, I am not ashamed
of my beauty because I know,
even in innocence,
you can’t help but stare.
