Stargazing Woman

This poem reflects on a woman's insecurity about her body size compared to societal standards but ultimately finds hope in appreciating herself for who she is regardless of size or shape.

A woman looking up at the night sky with her arms crossed over her chest. The stars twinkle brightly above her head.

A woman looking up at the night sky with her arms crossed over her chest. The stars twinkle brightly above her head.

As I gaze up to the stars, my thoughts take me away To a place of peace and solace, in this dark and starry night I feel so small beneath the sky, its vastness is humbling A reminder of how little I am in this grand scheme of things. My eyes wander back down to earth, where I find myself alone My own insecurities arise as I look upon my chest My body's curves are so small compared to what society deems beautiful It's hard not to feel inadequate when surrounded by perfection. But then I remember that beauty comes from within our souls And no matter what size or shape we may be, we all have worth We can be content with who we are and embrace our flaws For no one else can ever be us or fill our shoes. The stars remind me that there is something bigger than myself out there That life is more than just appearances and physical traits And although my breasts may seem small compared to others around me They are a part of who I am and they deserve love too. So tonight as I stargaze up above, my heart is filled with hope and grace For despite the pressures from society, I will always find beauty in me.
