beauty marks

What are these marks on my body? Marks that leave divots in my thighs, and freckles that appear across my skin and face. Others call them beauty marks, but what is so beautiful about stretch marks, freckles, and cuts that were afflicted across my skin. They are flaws to me, ones that were given to me at puberty and ones that I gave to myself because I hate myself in some ways. What is so beautiful about my skin? What makes these marks seem so beautiful to others when in reality I cringe at them.

I guess that is my self-hatred speaking. Others may disagree, but I don't see their point.
