Pants

Why oh why do I have to wear you?
I mean really?

I know that my legs are chubby
my knees scarred from bike rides
and pocketing edema

My thighs may be a little unshaved
freckled and bumpy
covered in random marks

But their sturdy, these legs of mine
they get me from here to there
they work well enough

So why do I have to cover them?
Why do they have to hide?

I've never found reason to doubt their
beauty
I've never found reason to make them
shy.
