the way i see myself

I cannot help but think
you can see the way I feel
when you look at me.
Completely unattractive
and totally unsexy,
I feel huge with this 20 pound stomach on me
growing more and more each day.
What you say and how you feel
are two different things
and I'm afraid
that you see me
the way I see myself.
I know the pregnant woman's body
is supposed to be beautiful
but when all you feel is
pressure, backache, and achiness
it's difficult to feel beautiful.
I want you
to look at me as you always have
but I'm afraid
that you see me
the way I see myself.
