he told me to dye my hair blonde and dress really sexy maybe i'll just shave my head and wear men's clothing sexy isn't my thing but i am beautiful with my scarred arms and not-so-perfect breasts and when i look in the mirror i can smile with my chubby cheeks and thick thighs. sexy just isn't my thing.

Im not sure 'sexy' isn't your thing. I mean a bald beautiful girl in mens clothing can be pretty down-right sexy. Think about this some more, actually don't think...feel.

THINK. FEEL... EXPLORE.

I like your use of the words "really sexy" to make the poeme seem really sexy. Also, great job throwing "scarred arms" in there. Poetry is always so much more profound when scars are involved. It's just that they're so deep, and so beautiful. Yes. You heard me. I said "beautiful". Because my scars ARE beautiful. They say more about me than Eminem ever could.

tonight, dark angel's cleaning out his closet.

snap back to reality, dark angel. Get back to your old rhapsody.

(yo, just kidding, I never meant to hurt yo-ouo-ouou)

pheh. Scars=drama-queen cries for attention. I have legs the same measurements as Bettie Page's and an ass that could have its own religion. Can't sympathize, sorry. Maybe massive plastic sugery will alleviate your pain?

i don't think you're really understanding it. i don't feel bad about myself because i'm not his definition of sexy. i don't want to change a damn thing about me. this poem is about me being happy who i am and accepting the fact that i'm not nessecarily "sexy".

I don't think you got my comment, ugmo. The fact that you bother writing this sad attempt at self-loving suggests that you still have issues about your body. You know, "methinks the lady doth protest too much". The poeme's got all the depth of a gap ad and seems just a cheesy rip-off of that awful "unpretty" song.

lol. ok. well i wasn't aware that it was an attempt at self-loving, but ok. oh and i do have issues about my body. but then again, i've never met anyone who doesn't. and the unpretty song is good - in my opinion. maybe that explains it, right?

I know how you feel, elizabethann. I used to have serious issues with my body, but now I'm beginning to accept myself for who I am. In case you didn't know, I'm disabled. It can be a problem at times, but there are very few bodily maneuvers that cannot be achieved with some sort of harness, a small tub of vaseline, a pair of binoculars and a basketful of self-esteem. And another basket. And a goat.

Unfortunately, such maneuvers include the sequence of hideous contortions required to operate a sander using only my groin. I tried this once and was very seriously injured.

Holy shit, I remember reading about that in the paper!!!! That was YOU?!?

What happened to the girl? did she end up dropping the charges? There was a rumor going around that you worked out some sort of deal with her where she dropped the charges and you let her keep the goat.

I can understand that. something like the way a boy needs toys to play with.

sorry, must limerick:

Elizabethan elizabethann
was recently told by her man
to doll herself up
(christ, what a schmuck)
But she's not really sure that she can.
