Sadly, this an incredibly accurate depiction of the thought process of many, many people in an image-obsessed society. I enjoyed the rapid, unrelenting pace as it ran parallel to the idea of obtaining an instantly perfect figure that is ultimately an endless cycle of self-destruction and self-hatred. Very awesome.

Obsession. Inadequacy. This was lovely, dear. I do apologize I have not responded to your reading requests here, but I will be visiting this site more frequently. Take care.

absolutely wonderful

I agree with the other review. Unfortunately, this is the basic truth of what some (and many) Americans face daily when it comes to weight loss. People are so obsessed with the "perfect image" that they forget who they truly are at heart, by becoming lost in the world of today's technology and trends. I love this sad, unfortunate, yet honest, poem.

I certainly know how this one goes ;-) ...a nice write which physically embodies the emotional concept well.

Admonishing self talk adroitly presented. Good example of conflicted emotions savaging the being.
