Not Mary

Be who you want to be...

He was never certain why Mary always walked the way she did

Or how her hips swayed side to side so abruptly

And how her perfume always lingered on his tongue

It was awful

He would just imagine begging her to stop and remain natural

To keep the perfume off

To embrace her natural clean scent,

Not the harshness of chemical compliments

He wondered how it would look for her to move normally and lithely,

As her body appeared created to do

She was almost disgustingly fake

And he loved her

And oh how he LOATHED her

Who was created to become unnatural?

Not Mary

No

Not Mary

I am a young, married woman. A free-spirited creative who wants to spread more love around the world. I frequently write what seem to be excerpts from a book I've never written. I hope you can enjoy these little pieces of random thought.
