-sculpted In False Image-

-sculpted in false image-
Hey, look at me 
now I see 
I’m more like you, 
and less like me 
chiseled and shaped 
the mold half broke 
chipping away at 
pieces of my soul 
Till I don’t know
Who I am anymore
  Figures in a magazine
Prophetic in hope 
Used as examples, 
As real women choke 
  Why won’t you just 
let me be me? 
And see the design 
God intended me to be 
  I am beautifully flawed
Without airbrush aesthetics
Mixed bag of crazy
And genuine intentions -JAZ-
