A Self Portrait of Me, Myself and I

For Self Portrait Contest

In the mirror, here is what I see

Pretty good looking girl looking back at me

Conceited? you might say, but I think not

But truth be told, I'm F-N' hot!

Can't stop laughing at the thought

Mouth typically open with foot caught

Pouty lips beneath Monroe dot

Chestnut hair, some black like night

A few plucked greys, and pulled out whites

Frown lines form at the unflattering sight

Long and soft with some loose curls

Hanging down, they reach the girls

Mix of hues and shades that swirl

Light brown eyes that capture the sun

Few crows feet but still look young

Heavy lids, yet I don't look strung

Makeup always, it's a must

Worn all day from dawn to dusk

Accentuating eyes that speak of trust

My nose is normal, about the right size

Seated centered beneath my eyes

It doesn't grow, the truth, no lies

My mind is a house that's always cluttered

Un-shut windows with open shutters

I try to stay focused but I live in the gutter

A smaller package at five foot two

Petite frame with good sized b***s

But still insecure, it's sad but true

Overall I'm happy with the things I see

I never really stopped to just look at me

But I think I'm alright and my husband agrees

You are beautiful, Dye -- Absolutely stunning. I loved the last few lines.

"Overall I'm happy with the things I see

You are too sweet Noodle. I try to come off confident, but I'm trying to get over some insecurities. Overall I'm happy though and I agree that most girls should be good with who they are. I saw your pics and you're a cutie, you have nothing to worry about. :)

[s y e]

Haha, I wish I could agree with you there, but I don't think so. Thank you though. Being happy is great.

[Dye]

Don't be so hard on yourself sweetie. Not only are you a beautiful girl but you are beautiful inside too. I see how you are on here and how everyone adores you, that is a breathtaking beauty that is hard to come by. xoxox

[Justaguy]

I think you described yourself famously! well done!

[Dye]

Thanks Mater :) It was a fun project.

[Justaguy]

I am sure it was. If I played...I could just say "See movie"...LMAO

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Hahahaha. This is really great. :) I can't describe myself in a detailed and poetic and funny way that you just did. Excellent, Dye! And I'm glad that your husband agrees with you. Cheers! :)

[Dye]

Thanks Blue, I didn't think I could either-- but once I started it was fun. I would recommend you try it out.

[Frieda P]

Hahaha you're such a sassy b***h, exactly what I pictured too, great one Dye! 5'2" here also, except I got gypped in the b***s department ;-) Great self portrait.....

[Dye]

Yes, I have been called that before LOL Another shorty, yeah!

[Frieda P]

You know what they say about the best gifts and all that jazz....

[Justaguy]

Well, for my 2 cents...I think 5'2" is perfect.

[Frieda P]

[Justaguy]

Hey, someone has to keep you two honest...LOL

[s y e]

5'5" & sixteen, go back to your room! ;-)

[Dye]

hahaha.....you guys are funny. Good one Frieda.

[s y e]

Nope, I'll put on my 6 inch heels, too. ;-)

[Justaguy]

5'5" plus 6 = 5'11"! That's a fuzz more than 5'2" Yes...I can add too!

[Dye]

Good job- it only took you 20 minutes to do the math lol

[Justaguy]

Shhhh. Just don't mention that I had a calculator!

[Frieda P]

You are as beautiful as your poem are written; you as a strong as your words. Keep singing sister.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you Pryde, it was fun to write-- regardless of the contest it was a real challenge. I recommend everyone gives it a shot.

Fabulous self portrait!! Confident and sexy...and there's nothing at all wrong with that!! Lol.. ;-)
The 2nd and 8th stanzas are my favorites..shows your fantastic sense of humour! Love it!!

[Dye]

Thank you. It was hard to write about myself without poking fun, so I was like 'F' it, I am who I am. LOL. It was a fun challenge
