They say

Not beautiful enough,
they say,
men will turn away and flee.

My body is tattooed
with stretchmarks,
my body is not
aesthetic,
they say,
rotund and huge,
men will turn away and flee.

Not beautiful enough.
they say,
I need to be slender 
and slim,
to steal a man's heart
and to tie the knot.

No wonder you are single,
they say,
shed your weight,
you will attract men like sugar
attracts ants.

I hug my beautiful rotund body,
and look at those nincompoops and say
only a real man
can see my true beauty,
and love me.
