Flawless as can be
To understand me you must start from the tips of my size 12 feet
Stretch five feet and eight inches and the top of my head you’ll meet
My scrawny legs to larger thighs
The look too strange together to abide
Upon these legs that are so slim
Stretch marks stretch into tiger stripes and will not be dimmed
Next you will meet a slightly protruded belly
That wiggles when you smack it, like jelly
Hips so bony there is no curve
No shape like pear or apple will it serve
From a belly button that sticks out to my bony shoulders
You will meet long arms that are skinny but challenge the strength of a boulder
Next is my face with a big nose, big lips, and slightly slanted eyes
With a gap toothed smile that takes many by surprise
My body is strong, made to withstand
Hair that will not meet any instant-hair growth demands
My body has many times been compared to a tree
But it’s not hurtful; it’s actually a compliment you see
Trees are a beautiful part of nature, helping make it complete
So to the judgmental world, please take a seat
If nature is beautiful and I am a tree
Then my long awkward body is as flawless as can be
