Franz Xavier Winterhalter
with lithographics made a stir
He captured self image i the main
of the bourgeoisie so often vain
Destruction
of self image
is the discomfort
perhaps the terror
of encountering
the absent self~
a story of rescue~~
Be kind but not weak
Be strong without falling into cruelty
Be who you want to be without crafting a false identity
Be someone worth knowing
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!”
they tell you
you hog the sun
so you shed your leaves
and thin your branches
for others to take
what was already theirs
if only they grew
as beautiful and strong
as you
Self-esteem
greatest gift possessed.
Difficulty ability
to maintain and accept- my looks
Self-image
Wasting
my body perfection.
Burning out my life
but self-assured life
Realised
chipepo lwele
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
GF
Finally walking with a cane to steady myself
Self-image delayed my usage but my need has swelled
Unsteadiness is the issue
So to avoid a miscue
Health is more important than image, who gives a hell
When left all alone
In charge and
In one place
Their is only
Three place's that
One can find ones'

self, be not overly full of yourself,
as fragile as crystal in a glass shelf,
which, at the slightest imagined offense,
recoils, sulks in resentful, vain defense
of your self-image that easily shatters,
so effortlessly tricked by flatterers.
divine destiny
decided before birth
delivered on life’s course
determines life on earth
designates direction
or
doubts after choices
doodled guilt maybes
disturbed self-image
desires need to believe
destiny caused everything
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
It's just who I am; yes, I have ADHD,
But that diagnosis doesn't define me.
Granted, it has its flaws; my mind is far from harmonious,
Yet sometimes I see with such clarity, it's pure utopia.
When I write poetry, creativity comes over me—my happy hour,
And seeing what others can't see, pareidolia is my superpower.
Every day my soul shines a little brighter,
And my self-image grows stronger,
My mind goes on less of a wander,
I no longer get cold feet,
when the people I meet,
think my company is hard to beat.
Beautiful people,
With souls a wonderful shade of purple,
That shine brighter than the sun,
And are twice as much fun.
A hen behaved very hip
nobody liked her ego trip
Free cruise to Honolulu
Her name is now Lulu
She enjoys life and skinny dip

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 grieving campus will mourn.
Yet she’d never once criticize
a friend for the size of her thighs.
Do unto others—
sisters and brothers?
Yes, but also ourselves, likewise.
How long obstinate truth will surprise you?
The moment like slippery things
Mixed emotions breath poison
The blue sky in the plain...
Hanging decision uncertainly attacks
Snake of blood that crawls the heart.
To put punctuation mark
In the uncaught wishes
Dust gathers towards Happy-go-line.
Millions of voices alarm self-image.
What's the use of grey documents then?
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 -
Our image into moistened eye,
Both now and then, to hold.
The symptoms of superiority complex may include:
1.high valuations of self-worth.
2.boastful claims that aren't backed up by reality.
3.attention to appearance, or vanity.
4.overly high opinion of one's self.
5.a self-image of supremacy or authority.
6.unwillingness to listen to others.
7.overcompensation for specific elements of life.
Note.Zafar Khan Supari is sick (Mental Case).
Slim elegance, pencil-sharp,
dark business skirt,
pure contrasts
where the black cuts
a clear white neckline.
Stretchy pants,
wide at the beam,
rumpled fore and rear,
a clear predilection
for sweats.
The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.
The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which
will have a self-image
until filled.
We used to hold hands in public all the time,
not so much now.
You sometimes try holding my hand
out in the open.
I feel dorky with your hand in mine – sorry.
I hate the thought that those that pass-by
see us as two cute oldies.
Cute was never the self-image I saw in my future.
I thought I would be forever a tough-nut,
keeping my cocksure swagger well oiled,
not this,
not downcast and grumbling like this.
One moment after
you get,
that your self-image of yourself,
is just a concept of a concept -
that you are in reality,
a scripture yet to be written -
only then
do you become a holy person.
Beware,
let no one eat your promises
as truth,
for they only want their beliefs
to stay pure,
and if you humor them
with other well-meaning myths,
you may well have to take holy orders,
and hide behind a whole lot more
damming words.
Block feeble man's reach lest their dreams grasp a stay -
fuel egos with hits increasing the poor's ache
Dismay those God loves with plans for their decay -
sate self-image torturing those you may break
Celebrate with flutes of champagne on Broadway -
clueless your gains are horrid keepsakes
So sad plush ones may have heartless behavior -
for they possess means to be mankind's savior
Dorian Grey
has lost all trace of his self-image.
Like many elderly male models,
there are now no mirrors in his mind.
Musty images of his centenarius youth
are hid in crusty shoeboxes.
Like many, he collects his social security,
munches slowly on a daily bowl of Cheerios,
then entertains himself
by watching cat videos on YouTube.
Sometimes, he pens the odd melancholy muse
as do many another, well versed,
superannuated
senior citizen.
Slim elegance, pencil-sharp,
dark business skirt,
clean contrasts
where the black cuts
a clear white neckline.
Stretchy pants,
wide at the beam,
rumpled fore and rear,
a clear predilection
for sweats.
The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.
The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which are different
until filled with choices -
samplings that speak
of each self-image.
