Megan Louis’s poem

She stood in front of the mirror, observing her every “imperfection”

The curve of her stomach, the scar on her thigh;

So beautiful, so natural, yet the reason she hated her own reflection.

Her daughter stood behind her, wondering, why?

Why does she hate a scar, something so small, with such a great history?

Why does she hate her stomach, from where life grew?

Her mind swirled with thoughts, yet only one remained a mystery:

“If I share her scars, her shape, should I hate myself too?”
