Stretch Marks (a tiger's stripes)A Poem by mynerdyvengeance'jagged jagged lines purple and yellow and black and blue'
one day i was looking at my back in the mirror
and i saw a tiger's stripes i saw lines like a razor dragged across my back jagged jagged lines purple and yellow and black and blue and i stared at them i searched for what they were and i was told that they are not attractive or sexy or beautiful and so i stared at them hoping that way they would go away they turned up in other places my stomach my chest i hated them but then one day looking in the mirror i was looking at them and i saw a tiger's stripes not disgusting ugly lines in all colours cut across but a tiger's stripes a fighter's wounds battle scars splashes of colour and art and paint across my back and i told myself f**k it i'm a tiger and i've f*****g earned these stripes and what tiger isn't proud of their's? © 2014 mynerdyvengeance |
