honestly

honestly, i've begun to see
the most beautiful parts of me
are the scarred ones.

the prettiest angles and curves
cut into the deep dark sticky
center of who i am and how i am

and just like a really great antique,
the best part about me is how i've aged.

so when a man may be attracted to me for my smile
or the blue in my eyes
or my fat ass
or...my feet...
the real man will come along and see the beauty in my scars
and realize they aren't imperfections
but the signs of aging and growing.

like rings on a tree
stretch marks for growth
of the heart and the body both
run in circles around me
and im convinced
honestly,
my scars are the prettiest part of me.
