Image

A poem about images and otward apperances.

An image,

A representation of a person or thing,

But not all images fully represent the thing in question.

We humans are constantly worried about the same thing.

Women wear make-up to cover their flaws,

And men shave their unwanted facial hair.

Some people don’t have the confidence,

To like the way their body naturally is.

They desperately try and try,

 But they can never look “perfect”.

Perfect is flawlessness.

Flawlessness can never be achieved by humans

Because humans are fallible by nature,

So next time you want to be or look “perfect”,

Think about how many mistakes you make a day,

And consider the reality of the situation.

What did you think? Does it flow?

So true...very deep ponderings . I will think of that the next time I get dressed up special. Such a great write!!

Sounds good. Like, a spoken word poem. I read it over, then read it aloud to myself. Some poems just have more impact that way, and I think this may be one of them. A beautiful write, very nice.

I really like this.
It's full of truth.
I've written stuff like this before.
The society we grow up in paint an unattainable image of perfection.
This is an excellent write.
You've express what you were meaning to say perfectly.

Bec, flow is not everything in a poem...just because it flows, doesnt mean that it is a good poem. (that was in general, I'm not saying you suck, b/c you dont, by any means.)
Ohh, and you always seem to have this one style, but it's so recognizable, i love it, it's kinda like how when you read shakesperian sonnets, you know theyre by shakespeare, even if it doesnt tell you.
I cant put my finger on what it is yet, but i like it.
Ohh, and youd do good in mystery. Like, not fic, but mystery. You know how I start out with a story, then make a fic? You'd do good doing the opposite, starting with a fic and making a story out of it.
oh, when i come back from sc you have to help me on Dk, i'm starting to get to the Calleigh/miami part and I cant write calleigh yet...
