I say that I am beautiful,
You say that I am not;
You tell me what I am,
I’d rather tell you what I am not.
Without many words you make me feel dorky,
flicking through your glossy insides
makes me feel it is a crime to be.
You’re before my eyes
When I want to take a huge bite
From the double MacDonald burger
On a tired Friday night…
You’re in my dreams
And it’s all about you:
I’m in them too
But you can’t tell can you?
You’re the voice in my ear
When I just want to be,
Chanting words that define a human
Greater than me:
Sexy, Slim, trim, sleek, glamorous, petite
Wonderfully skinny, toned and sun kissed.
Oh perfection ridden pictures of cosmopolitan and vogue!
Ah perfection ridden news of E! And insider!
Let me tell you who I would rather be
Not too skinny and not too large,
A pimple or two at that time of the month,
Some stretch marks in places my husband appreciates
Fit and happy is what I am… thank you very much!
I may not look like a long legged colt ready to strut
But I am me and it’s all I’ve got…

I'm that kind of writer that writes a piece,reads it and goes ''damn! Im good! Lol...I generally hate sharing my work with people but my desire to be a more serious writer supercedes that ridiculous fear so here I am! I'm beautiful,brainy and unpretentious and that shows in my writing...Go to estrella's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
