Tracing my arms I feel

The moles and freckles

Connected and scattered around

Little constellations 

The remnants of the stars

The ones that have created me

My skin glitters and shines

While I gaze up at the sky

The author's comments:

I have a lot of moles all over my body and ever since I was young I've always loved them. In class, my friends would say they looked like constellations, and sometimes would even connect them together. Whenever I feel down about myself, especially my body image, I think about my moles and freckles. They make me happy.
