stretch marks
for the "Love in 50 words" challenge
how wonderful I am made
and these marks are the roadmap
of the journey this body has went on
how it grew with me
how it persevered
how like a friend
it remained
even when i hated it
so i wear these marks proudly
and look at them in awe

Unforgivable. * Note: I don't think that I have to explain this one to anyone noting recent news, but I have included a video link below for future generations who can still feel empathy and compassion for someone who got caught up in history. And I was just too angry to say more with this piece.
