Mangia Mangia

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!”

Body Dysmorphia

Feeling like you're not enough,
Your looks or body, it's really tough.
Self conscious and to self aware,
Seeing others beauty, it's almost unfair. 
And when your told you're not as you see,
You shrug it off, and just disagree. 
You feel like your to short or too tall,
Your facial features, you hate them all.
Stiffing your face or never

Walk Away

As she'd left
He'd taken her name for all the reasons and  blames
In every corners of the city, to all the men
As much as
He'd no courage left
To walk on the memory lane
And look into her eyes.

The Self Conscious

            anxious
            peering into the gloom
        staring    motionless

Most Self Conscious Age of All

She is uncomfortable
Thinking they are all staring at her
She can barely look up 

They are twelve and thirteen
Most not noticing her at all 
Too concerned about their own flaws

One thinks they are staring at his zit
Another is sure they are staring at her frizzy perm
Most self conscious age of all

Middle school dance
Critical beyond belief
Misunderstanding the

Look Into My Eyes

Look into my eyes
See the humanity inside
See where beauty resides
See them blue, green or brown
See them smile or frown

Look into my eyes
In my eyes the lies can’t hide
The tears glitter before they slide
My eyes narrowed to recognize
My eyes widen when terrified

Look into my eyes
Even though I lost my sight
My eyes show the imagination in my

Self Conscious

Loosing the will to live, 
It’s all vicarious anyway,
There must be more to life,
Than the pretence of everyday.

Turns out you got a raw deal,
That was not there yesterday,
Bad luck meant it wasn’t to be,
Nascent beauty was taken away,

Your resulting life is one big lie,
The truth won’t help it go way,
You have to see it through

Self-Conscious

Can you see
Odd epiphany;
What's to be
Self-conscious story.


Just like me
Strange melancholy;
Chemistry
Beyond sanity.


Odd words free
Mad controversy;
History
In lost odyssey.

Al Ask Uh -

An Inupiat "slow-grower"
Believed he could sink no lower
When an icicle rose
On the tip of his nose
He won "Number 1 Snow Blower"

 * * * * 

A cold polar bear did stutter
And folk thought he was a nutter
But God loved him a bunch
And dropped off his lunch
With buckets of peanut butter.

Self Conscious

Life from exceptional will
Forever flowing freely
True compassion is fear for
The unknown
Yet,
The mere apparition
Of an innermost being
Complicates'
It's very exist Nance
Yet, in conflict
With death, ye shall
Never die
Fore death is only the begining
So what is a prisoner
If so, a prisoner of mind
Less he be sentenced
Set by another
The prisoner of fate
So haunted and unsure
Whether a matter of conviction
Or-
By virtue
