My tiger stripes

Markings

They are everywhere

They show a story

A past

A present

A future 

Markings 

A way of expression

They can develop over time 

They show change 

I call mine my tiger stripes

They are beautiful

They aren’t admired by many people

But they are admired by me

My stripes show a strong body

A body that can handle the weight of life

And womanhood

Markings

Pattern

Characterizing

Distinguishing

Story telling

Markings

Whether on the body or the mind

On an animal or a plant

On the object or the sky

They tell a story

They STRETCH the expectations

They MARK what is to be seen

Markings

They show the little things in life

From your head to your feet

The body has millions of markings

They show who we are

Markings
