Notes About The Poem

I Hate and Love My Body

I've depicted all the undesired bends. Heightened indefinitely. Assaulted my mind and emotions. Traumatized my cosmic psyche. Evaded environmental factors. My closest companion was famine. Yearn for lawlessness. Backside of a fantabulous shape. Outrage took hold of my dreams. Destroying my brawn. Yapping waves at the scale. I withstood self-upheaval disgust. Literally, I endure more than a close body. Overwhelming food scarcity. Vindicate my own sense of worth. Early sarcophagus and eloped. Muddled through to figure it out. Yauping in despair is unattractive. Believing I'm alluring as a person. Overindulging my true spirit. Distorted me into a person. Yesterday, I wasn't able to eat.

A highly introspective write.... ! Contradictory sentiments rule our heart when we think of our body. Incongruity rules our very life. A meaningful and highly ingenious acrostic poem . Wish you the very best in the contest, dear Lasaad

Very thoughtful introspection, Lassad. Another long poem--depicting life's travails. Best to you.

I suppose we all have that love hate relationship with our bodies, a well written acrostic Lasaad. Good luck in the contest. Tom

I have never written an acrostic. You did a great job. I suppose suffering is necessary. Best for a win.
