i wish i could show you
the parts of me unscarred
i wish i had flesh
unseen by any man before
before before
hurt and pain were introduced
to heart and psyche
i wish i were a gentler woman
that my skin were soft and firm
and succulent like mango
my words actions thoughts
were sweet like splenda
would that make you like me?
i wish
wish i
were your girl
your woman
your soil.
your sun
and moon with stars in our eyes
wish you heard drums beat to the rhythm of my
thighs ass
walking
wish you saw breasts round and hips wide
wish you saw me flawed
yet beautiful
wish you'd see me
as i am and smile
wish you saw me with hands open
arms outstretched
waiting
always waiting

It's a beautiful poem, giving insight into how a woman views things. Thank you.
"Wish you'd see me as i am and smile"
Isn't that what we all want? Love me, want me, imperfections be damned.
Beautiful Felicia.
Yes, I'm feeling this - especially the following;
"wish you saw me with hands open
arms outstretched waiting always waiting"
Great stuff.
