by Julia aka firemajic
Your lascivious stare
strips me naked
revealing secrets hidden
under my jeans
I see myself in the narrowness
of your gaze
diminishing my worth
destroying womanly confidence
My breasts feel heavy
legs awkwardly weak
feet rooted in humiliation
I avert blind eyes
My curves are a commodity
devoured and dismissed
value assessed
by the swell of my ass
