Best Self Image Poems

The opposition calls like intuition,
from down the halls to the master's kitchen.

Her knees are rocking cheddar cheese blocks,
and when she walks you hear Pop Rocks.

Her eyes are made of ribeye steaks.
Her lips are whipped cream topped chocolate cakes.

Her cheeks are stuffing with a gravy blush.
Her neck is a lamb chop, long and lush.

Her chest is...

Picture you inside your mind
who you are and what you find.
Your image did not develop overnight
long and slow did your self image sight.

The picture is not in another mind,
what they perceive or what they find.
That image of who they think they see,
is not what your inner self might be.

Imposed by others, data may flawed be,
Your...

SELF-IMAGE

Oh Lord, why do I feel this way?
My body is fatigued and just wants to lay
On soft pillows under a ceiling fan
Where peace is tranquil and divine.
No pain or stressors are involved.
Just me free of troubles and another’s problems.
Where the world is outside and I am indoors,
To achieve the level of contentment I search for,
This...

The mirror is her worst enemy
Yet she looks at it everyday
The magazines girl so skinny
She wishes,starves and runs her weight down

Should she be this way?
Should she hate the mirror?
Why can't the mirror be her best friend?
She was told she's too fat
Loose weight,get taller wear make up

She was once a happy little girl
Until her smile was...

Self-Image
                  by Odin Roark

Once of water
Man first eyed himself
Perhaps leaning to drink
Club in one hand
Food clenched firmly in the other

Even today

How arresting first glance must be
While a mother hovers
Cooing with pride
The infant stares up 
A crib’s mobile of...

Self Reflection
by Michael R. Burch 

for anyone struggling with self-image

She has a comely form
and a smile that brightens her dorm ...
but she's grossly unthin
when seen from within;
soon a griefstricken campus will mourn.

Yet she'd never once criticize
a friend for the size of her thighs.
Do...

A little lipstick could not hurt.
But she was eight, and refused lunch after it was on.
She thought she was "fat" now, and she wanted to be thin.

I caught her wearing scarlet nails the Tuesday after the lipstick.
Her Daddy thought it was cute. 
Her grandmother bought an eyelash curler 
And false eyelashes for her at the...

not grounding mentality
in bounds of reality
vows turn unverifiable
truth becoming pliable
judgments unreliable
when the working of our brain 
leads toward being less sane

few usually agree
about structure of life's key
existence is that which is
beyond schemes in sales pitches
theories in various niches
worth being more selective
in forming of perspective

the self-image we maintain
was created by our brain
designed and fabricated
by what recall...

there once was a woman named Mimi
she never would wear a bikini
	when she was asked why
	she didn’t blink an eye
said, “I’ve eaten too much linguine!”...

Help me to
find identity in you
understand my worth
value your standards
recognize my unique qualities
designed by you
Lord, to you I pray

Help me to 
appreciate me
see myself the way you see me
understand that you Lord
fashioned me too a little lower than the angels
view you as my author and designer
Lord, before you these things I lay

Help me to
see you...

You are so very weird
Your weirdness shines true
There are so very few,
Who are weirder than you.

You see, weirdness is relative
Weirdness is wacky
But the right kind of weirdness
Makes true weirdos happy

If you were not weird
Well that would be weird
Weirder than the fact
That weirdness is feared...

The mind is a play place of unique and distinct thought.
This brings me to thinking of things in my mind I brought.
I could create an image of all the things in the world in my mind.
The meaning of this is some times not so kind.
The recklessness of such choices could make me go insane.
The mind...

Love hearts and scabby knees.
Dead flies and stinging bees.
Dirty nails and sweaty lips.
Fishnets with ragged slips.
Eyeholes in a hessian sack.
Pimples on a tattooed back.
Toys that she just can’t unpack.
Helen. 
Secret Helen.

Lies from a mother’s heart.
Secrets that fell apart.
Beauty too divine to see.
As purple as a Judas Tree.
Singing from her cradle jail.
A baby crying weak and...

When left all alone
   In charge and
In one place,
Their are only
Three places' that
One can find one's
     Self....
That is in the Church
     In the Chapel
And in the
   Tabernacle of God
