Darling

Sat, 09/28/2019 - 15:41 -- Meely

My worth is not in

 

the shape of my lips

the curve of my hips

the curl of my toes

the shape of my nose

 

the size of my ass

the symmetry of my breasts

it's not even in the length of my nails

or my sense of dress

 

it's not in the glisten of my eyes

or the dark of my lashes

the tint of my eyebrows

the waxed moustaches

 

the clench of my fists

the bone of my wrist

the blood in my veins

or even my brain

 

My worth isn't in

the curls of my hair

the dance in the wind

my feelings of care

 

It's not in my knees

nor in my toes

and if you think I care

what opinions you show-

 

darling,

darling,

darling

I don't.
