Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast Reduction Surgery

I got breast reduction surgery,
Because I’m sick and tired of the things people say to me;
Men and women.
Walking down the street with my husband,
I hear things like,
“What huge breasts!”
And “He’s so lucky!”
I ask him not to fight with them.
I tell him it’s not worth it.

He now parks directly in front of any place we go to,
So we don’t have to walk and hear annoying remarks.
But he’s never said anything to me about it.
He knows I try to dress modestly.
He knows people won’t shut up anyway.

Even women.
I constantly get comments like,
“Why don’t you share with us?”
“Are they real? Or did you get work done?”
Of course all this falls under annoying teasing.
In the street, of course, I also got physically harassed.
On public transportation, at university, even at work.
But thank God, ever since the surgery,
As painful and difficult as it was,
Most of the harassment has stopped.
