Look Where She Points

[Leanne]

I don't think I can express quite how strongly this resonates. I really enjoy your enjambment between stanzas, with the repetition of "I don't mind". Every physical sign of ageing is a sign that you have lived. I have stretch marks on my bum, none on my stomach, and I think they're quite pretty -- a nice silvery reminder that having a baby is really hard work, but completely worth it. Yes, be a woman with confidence that doesn't come out of a bottle.

The only part of this I'm not super keen on is "a real woman is me" -- I feel this might be too overt.
