    I wrote this about the feelings ive been having over the last 24 hours...as always all comments and critisism is welcome.












    Distorted Image
    As I look into the mirror now,
    I can see what you see;
    a huge blob of fat and water and
    a manly face that should not be.

    Your harsh words have caused me
    to see a distorted image
    of a lost little girl
    she is called me.

    Confidence is something
    I have always lacked in,
    but now as I look at myself
    I can not seem to bare it
    to be this ugly must be a sin.
    A thought comes to mind:
    “I am just too disgusting”
    that is what I say
    to this image of mine.

    That is beautiful. But so are you, you are way too hard on yourself.

    Very good writing, terrific imagery, great insight. But I've seen your pic from the link you once had listed on your home page, and -- you're actually CUTE!

    The angle, and closeness to the camera of your new signature pic, obscures the cuteness factor somewhat. Still, it dose highlite those great eyes. Personally, even though the new one is more creative, and dose your eyes better justice, I prefer the old one.

    And, I get it. What's in your head doesn't match physical reality. I've always been less than pleased with the face I see in the mirror too. Yet, over a life time, some pretty hot chicks thought I was worth chasing down, using words like "cute," "handsome," and "a fox". Obviously, they saw something very different than I did. And, unfortunately, I still don't see it. I hope both of our mind-sight gets better soon.

    And I'll say it again, slay the Dragon with your words!

    This is a wonderful poem as it brings to light the common thoughts women have but are too afraid to express. Great job!
    And if that is you in your sig, you are a beautiful young woman. Be proud of yourself :)

    Distorted Image is a good title for this work, it dose seem that for the moment any way, that your image of yourself is unfortunately distorted -- and does NOT match reality.

    And, great new photo -- WAY better! Now the cuteness factor shows through.
