I watched Marilyn  

I could be her
size 14
but I won't

play the part

I am not going to
be Marilyn  

but I could have
in spirit
and touch
and in other ways

I could have started
a fire
I could have created
a desire

I could have
died

but I am
not Marilyn  
and I am not
a winsome thing
and I am not
a chandelier

although
sometime
I want to be
brightly bright

winsomely light

what is the problem
and what is
the resolution

I am not anything
but me

not enough
for some………

This is great, Karilea! All we can be is what we are, if others don't like it, well, too bad!!

Karilea - Since my name is Marilyn, I am often asked online if I am like Marilyn Monroe.  I am not, and would not be if I could.  Being oneself may not be enough for some, but it's enough for those who really matter.  I really enjoyed this.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

denise, so glad you approve!  I get a rush on approval....LOL

Marilyn...so right...I don't know where this came from, but I always did feel sorry for her...

speaking for myself - 6'2" 200 lb - petite women never have been those that caught my eye. Curves I can't ignore - but they fall behind height - size 12 to 18 who cares? -  can she look me in the eye when we dance?

Mr. Yeats, you always provide the most interesting responses...and a quick laugh or warm smile always greets me when I see you...

thank you...
