Life

Depressed in life's quest 
this cancer manifests.
Possessed, stressed by this
unyielding pest.
I am obsessed with myself
mostly when undressed.
There are not many who will protest
that poetically I am blessed.
The best in my world
A master of my own conquest..

Nothing like having lots of confidence to become a success. I liked it Jared. Thanks for the soupmail but I don't know how to post it since the contest is gone and I don't know how to put it on there. Too bad. It was good. I used your name as the Acrostic.It's called A Day to Savor if you want to look for it. Love, Joyce
