Deep Skin < !signature-->I describe myself as a fully bloomed rose. A red one with lush petals, full lips, thick stem, strong voice... You get the picture. I’m tired of trying to fit into Barbie’s plastic skin. Inside of me is a Bohemian Goddess painted on walls since the beginning of time. I’m talking about Deep skin beauty. I’m Custom made not cookie cut, I wear sizes Twenty Twenty two Twenty four head to toe and let me tell you, it feels good! I sleep in a double bed with satin sheets caressing rolling curves... my secret is bigger than Victoria’s. That’s right, I said Deep skin beauty. I am a meat and potatoes meal, and so what If I’m pear shaped... It is the sweetest fruit. I am a handful. In fact I’m two. I am Deep Skin Beautiful inside and out. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." [This message has been edited by Saxoness (edited 11-13-2000).] |

You will go far in this world. You are beautiful and I hope that I can get the confidence in myself that you have in yourself. I really and truly loved this poem. |

Selfconcept is the key to a wonderful existance, and you seem to have a fabulous selfconcept! Congratulations on that achievement and on an extraordinairy poem. |

pears or apples, oranges or grapefruit. does the difference mean anything at all? beauty is in the eye of the beholder and yet only skin deep, or was that a lie used by people who are ugly inside and trying to hide. a pear is as beautiful as an apple, as wondrous as an orange and as tangy as a grapefruit. the only difference is in how you perceive yourself. if you see it as tangy it will be tangy, as wondrous, then it will be wondrous, and beauty, sweet beauty will overflow and light the world. |

Butterflies: Thanks for the reply  I have to say this is the first peom I've ever written about myself, it was harder than I thought it would be, but I'm glad I did it.inot2B: Thank so much!  Gotta love hearing thatMasked Intruder: Self concept is indeed key, even though sometimes it's hard to come by. But I say, why not celebrate what makes us unique, you know? Des: "or was that a lie used by people who are ugly inside and trying to hide." Beautfiully said my friend. Thanks very much. *hugs* Effigy: Thank you very much for the reply Nan: Thank you! What a pretty flower. We are all flowers in our own right Or fruit, as Des says. (Then again he could just mean that I'm fruity  )lol < !signature--> "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Okies, Bee. I have to admit I never read this one before. Sorry I didn't pay more attention to your work even before you became my most wonderful friend. (((heart hugs m' busy friend))  I really liked this one. I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |
