Premium Member No way !

Little tomboy almost a teenager.
Ultra self-conscious to the bitter end.
Refuses to wear bathing suit.
She's simply not coming out.


Premium Member 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!”

Why

And because she smiles
because she laughs
because she hugs herself
and looks so self-conscious
even as she speaks her mind
and speaks it so well
that I'm floored.

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.

Premium Member Someone Bad

Need someone real bad, hey, you look real bad Let's be a pair of naughties, start a new fad Dance naked in the street Naked I repeat But a loin cloth for me, I'm self-conscious must add

Premium Member would you rather

Would you rather have your bangs cut too short
Or have someone come by and lop off your head?
For me it would be the latter, for I despise short bangs.
They make me self-conscious, and I wish I was dead.

Premium Member Our Birdbath

When birds take a bath in your birdbath Are they self-conscious about nudity and their overweight flab They could put on a bathrobe But no arms for the armholes They turn on our faucet and create a big splash

Premium Member 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.

Sabatoging Ones Self

I dream of intimacy
maybe my self conscious
is trying to tell me
that I need somebody
My heart interferes
because it has everything to fear
I mess up every prospect
because I am scared
But truthfully 
I'm more scared of no one being there

Premium Member Wider Wider Wider

I washed my hands with sanitizer
Before I opened up my mind.
Wider! My muse screamed.
WIDER! WIDER! WIDER!
Everyone was staring at me.
Is this wide enough? I asked her.
I was feeling self-conscious now.
Having never been in this restaurant before.
And now knowing I will never be back.

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.

Premium Member Am I Good Enough?

Misty sky,
All a lie,
Terrible past,
Trauma will last,
Forever stressed,
Feeling never blessed,
Praying to God,
I always feel odd,
Left out,
Self-doubt,
Self-conscious and worried,
But the stress is buried,
So, no-one can see,
The inside me,
A mess of anxiety,
Am I good enough for society?

The Elusive Ghost

Can you be conscious
  without being self conscious,
  philosophers disagree

Being aware of your
  awareness,
  seems logical to me

But logic has its
  failings,
  as we pierce the inner mind

Perception,
  the most elusive ghost
   —and hardest to define

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Premium Member Zen mode

a soft, subtle fragrance ineffable 
arises from a centreless fulcrum 
if we be self-conscious, it disappears 
taking along with it the cosmic hum

how still is our stillness, worthy hermit
do thoughts as yet soil our meditation
slow, slower and slower yet we become
in vibrance, mood and mode celebration

Premium Member Open Poetry the Form

an apperception of poetic elements imagery,assonance,rhythm,sound symbolism of an intuitive of the self conscious in a crystallised convergence of the moment ,with punctuation implied interpretation changing according to mood, essentially fluid and inherently variable. with unique mutual  participative interaction.

Myself

Most see me as a vibrant green
alive and bursting with ambitions
competitive and willing
my feet a treadmil that never stops moving.

Only some see me as shimmering silver
my accomplishments leave me self-conscious
and unaware
quiet and withdrawn
my mind reels ahead of others as my body
stays in the shadows.

Penumbra

PENUMBRA

A semi-hidden place
Out of the limelight
Hovering in shadow
And almost unseen
But still a dim copy
Sometimes cast large
And sometimes not
Its own shade of grey
Moving in synchrony
An indistinct identity
As if self-conscious
Yet knowing its role
To echo and follow
Like its black cousin 
Faithful until it’s dark

Premium Member Embarrassing Situation

I've been a vegetarian since 1999 (but not a vegan).  Anyway, I'm just having a little fun here.

A lion took the very front seat,
hankering for something to eat
in a vegan's convention,
causing a little tension.

The forest king, self-conscious, grew,
not knowing exactly, what to do.
He bowed his head and confessed,
then ate every guest.

Salad

I'm healthy
I symbolize 
self conscious 
insecurities
I victimize 
those who choose
burgers and fries
I offend those 
who choose 
thicker thighs
But I most closely
represent evil
hiding away
you eat more of me
so you can blend in
to this pressure filled 
society that we live in
but tell me are you
anymore thin
than when you last
weighed in?

RECOGNITIONS

evident

self conscious

Blurry Mirror

Steam clouds on mirror
Hide the reflection in blurred
Chose to be unknown

Hidden soul not speak
It says through the words of eyes
I'm living in you

Unnamed solely side
Lived from the remained shadow
Under self conscious

Friend or predator
Both are potentially hurts
Pick the wise answer

Make peace with yourself 
Take two sides in good or bad
Those, the shapes of you

Premium Member Ermine Covering

A rare snowfall has left 
forgiving blanket over all.
It’s covering the litter 
of the late untidy fall.
The morning sun is sending rays
to sparkle up the scene
of a winter white as beautiful 
as springtime’s luscious green.
The nearby hills are shining
With an opalescent glow,
so self conscious of their splendor
in their brand new coats of snow.


One of the no. one wins

Premium Member Missing the Mark Why We Kill

re-post inspired by Debbie's contest

We like sheep have gone astray,
if He marked our transgressions
who would stand.

Tempted,ofttimes
tormented,self-conscious,self-
seeking missing the mark;stepping
over the line,impulsive,doing what
we do want to do.

Encouraged into
doubt,we deceive ourselves,listening
to the father of lies,’Til the Holy Spirit
convict us of this sin.
