self esteem

Contributed by Phantomvampyress on Sunday, 4th February 2007 @ 08:20:54 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



so beauitful
porcelin skin
scarlet lips
eyes with big bright stars
no scars
the perfect face
but she doesn't see the same

in her eyes

so plain

white skin

oddly shaped face

bumpy nose

always feels inadequate in looks

colorless eyes

oversized

too many stretch marks on her sides

large thighs

hates her face

she hides
she cries
to be beautiful to herself again!

Vampyress jenni

A good heartfelt write that captures a personal pain that however deep can be realized and healed.
In my humble opinion this piece pegs a dilemma that has its resolve in discovering ones source of self esteem in the deep appreciation of the beauty of nature. I must admit I personally get more lasting good feeling by catching the sunset or a rainbow then from someone saying I look handsome in a suit. Now I don't see my face as a movie stars but I feel beautiful and I am not put off by blemishes or what others think instead of need and the result of living in deprivation I radiate abundance of good feeling which socially is the best make-up of all.

Well Done

peace
AJ

I like that you use simple words ot describe complex emotion. And I love that it's in free verse. It flows very well.

Sadly this poem describe's more people men as well as women who go through this. I my self included. It's a sad reality in our western culture. Your writting in so in depth and fill with indisputable logic. Very well done.

VJ,

a bizarre but all-too common self perception well captured in your words. How we make ourselves miserable with our own thoughts and deeds...
