Everyone is saying, “you’ve lost all the weight,”
“Totally bounced back,” and “you look great”
I stiffen.
Can they see the stress written all over my face?
I crack a joke just in case
“It’s like you’ve never had a baby”
Really?
That couldn't be the furthest thing from true,
Every single part of me feels completely new
I feel my skin wearing my reaction,
Emotions in red blotches; I hate these interactions
I stiffen.
Can they see the stress written all over my face?
I crack a joke just in case
