Written by me in 2017 I ve stood here before Too many times to count Some days as validation Some days as a celebration Some days it s harder to see the beauty I express There is more of me these days Too much more I ask myself What does that even mean My body yearns for the sun A craving it will have to wait to satisfy A realization that makes me ache to the core of my being I stare a little longer My body moves a jiggle at times I don t want to embrace My body is It simply is I ve said it all before it s strong powerful unique soft heavy squishy and loved It s dimpled and marked I m supposed to hate that but I don t I don t need to but others seem to tell me I should I ve stood here before I ve felt the touch of a mans lips as he pulls me closer I ve heard him breathe heavier as he feels my soft skin marked dimpled and heavy He kept pulling me closer I ve seen him watch me move He pulled me closer I ve seen him take in the sensuality I possess about my body my mind my soul I ve seen him want to experience it Be given the gift of how sexy I feel He walks towards me He pulls me closer And he stops stops to take a look at our reflection My body close to his He can t stop staring with desire with lust with excitement I dare to do the same His body so much smaller tighter firmer than mine He pulls me closer And all at once the reflection doesn t matter anymore The movements the wiggle the jiggle all becomes a part of feeling alive Of sharing an amazing moment of pleasure with the human in my bed I ve stood here before I ll stand here again But life is much more than this reflection It s about the things we ve touched the feelings we ve felt the times we ve been present the warmth we ve bestowed It s about the fights we fight and the people we believe in it about the moments we ve danced and the moments we ve cried I ve stood here before But I haven t let this reflection be the only reflection of me
