Self Image Poems - Poems about Self Image

A mirror isn't just a frame, A sheet of glass that speaks your name. It shows your image. Yes, it's true– But now the whole of what is you. It doesn't bend, it doesn't fake, It captures truths you cannot break. But mirror hide in the other forms– In quiet thoughts, in silence storms. In words that bruise, in eyes that...

The mirror of a life that’s mine Sits journeyed in the wall. The face is young, its glance is not, As old and young recall. The answer, fading, pauses there Though burning in the mind, Young again to feel the world, Yet aged well like fine wine. We can just once have been there young, Where now we cast, as old...

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...

Mirror mirror, on the wall, who will catch me, if i fall? it won’t be you, stood over there, only there for me, when i feel the need to stare, Why trust a mirror ? if it changes your perspective, when all really shows, is a false reflective. a mirror will only shows you, what’s skin deep, but not the way your hair lies, when you...

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...

First-Person Personal By Sy Roth Here adrift wrapped in a coat of heebeejeebies Fearful of using the first-person personal Masking it instead by holograms of itself, Playful non-entities cavorting among the semi-living. Used to squirrel the words away like nuts now dormant in a tree’s hollow Used to look for them wherever they could be found tail-fluttering into the hollow Liked the slippery...

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...

Staring in the cracked reflector She feels a powerful sense To make amends, to apologize And to commit recompense Struggling to find the words And spew her apologies far Her troubles are hardly over There’s nothing to apologize for They tell her and tell her and tell her again But believing is half of the cure She’s not a bad person, she hasn’t sinned Of that...

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...
