on the front of my neck
there are 3 large birthmarks
and 8 small ones
on the back of my neck
I have 1 that sticks out
on my back, there’s another
they’ve always been there
and I like them
my daddy called them beauty marks
for a long time, he hasn’t said that
he suggested I get one removed
both my parents have
they’ve removed marks and spots
the doctor numbs the area
and then slices them off
it leaves a scar if they take a lot
which they sometimes do
I’m not ready to do that
maybe I won’t need to
