I love this so much great job!

[EileenMarie]

Thank you...... I choose the colors because they are soft and feminine even though I am working on being strong physically and mentally I like the soft feminine side of me!

This all works together so well! The lead in, the acrostic, the colors, the words...the picture-which seems to be an illustration of the symmetry of the face that is thought to be beauty - outward beauty that is. Until I thought to enlarge it, I thought it was Marilyn Monroe and that made me think about how beautiful she was physically, and yet she was such a tormented individual. This goes well with your poem that speaks of loving ourselves no matter what our physical appearance. This is difficult sometimes, and often takes a lifetime to achieve. Great little poem and gets one thinking.

Thank you! Yes Marilyn, so beautiful yet broken.. if only she was kinder to herself!! I had fun with this and it is a good reminder to myself to be gentle and like myself more :)

To accept yourself for what you are flaws and all is the beginning of wisdom

[EileenMarie]

Always working towards acceptance :)

with real understanding, all the rest will fit in perfectly... who are "they" by-the-way?

[EileenMarie]

I don't know but I am getting sick of them ;)........ but in all seriousness I need to find beauty from with in so they in this poem is the voices in my head that forget about me!!

[EileenMarie]

[Wondering Mind]

well, from your writing, you're on the right tracks..forget about "them" and follow your heart's song, that's where beauty mainly resides
