In a world such as this

In a world such as this I no longer lock eyes with a fellow woman and wonder why I don't look like her or question why god chose her to hold more beauty than I;
However, in a world such as this I now know that our Bodies are not storefront windows;
They do not need to be perfectly presented in order to Appeal to others around us;
To catch the eyes of people passing by;
For our bodies give us the chance to live;
Our bodies tell stories;
Freckles from the long days spent in the sun;
Scars from the days I decided to be a bit too adventurous;
Eyebags from the nights I stayed up to late conversating with the people  I love;
Sure my eyes may be a shade of basic blue;
But I have used them to witness so many extraordinary things;
And yes my legs may be covered in bruises, bumps, and scrapes;
But man have I used them to explore such wonderful places;
Our bodies will never truly gain approval In a world such as this;
But I sure am grateful for it;
For my body gives me a chance to feel, a chance to feel as if I have lived
