Deep trenches left behind,
each groove
a reminder
of battles fought against myself.
This one tells of days
when feeding
seemed an impossible effort
to a girl
lost in fashionable angst.
That one marks a time,
when rebellious revenge came
under an adipose cover.
Another appeared,
when the counterstrike
to a weighty uprising
led to starvation.
They are a record
of the metamorphoses forced
on my own landscape,
when I waged war
against nature.

Boxlicker101almost 17 years agoand it tells a true story of what some women put themselves through. I don't mean stretch marks from pregnancies, which are normal and natural, and should be considered to be badges of honor. I mean stretch marks from dieting which I consider to be contrary to one's true nature.
RedHairedandFriendlyalmost 17 years agoYou put a part of us in a new light. Thank you for that. ~ Red
MarshAlienalmost 17 years agoIt should be required reading for all of us men, so that we understand that they actually add to your beauty rather than subtract from it.
WhiteWave48almost 17 years agoWhat a brave topic to tackle here! You speak for all real women - our bodies display the evidence of all that we endure or experience.
impressivealmost 17 years ago... a while ago, but I figured it was time to leave a comment to tell you how much I enjoyed this as a veteran of the war against nature myself. ~ Imp
Anonymousalmost 17 years agoand wonderfully written. There's a lot of raw emotion in your words, so thank you for sharing them. As a fellow female, I can only commend you on not being ashamed of them, like many of us are.
