Array ( [sid] => 50098 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Body Unbeautiful [time] => 2004-06-02 10:40:08 [hometext] => Feeling really down about my body and the way I look today, I know alot of you can relate to this poem. Comments appreciated as always. [bodytext] => I hate the sight of my nakedness,
I cringe as I stare down and all I see is mess,
Why can’t I wish some of my weight away,
But I know that it’s here for good and here to stay.

Sometimes I dread getting undressed to make love,
Every day my self esteem takes a violent shove,
I have tried to hide my body in the sheets,
I hate it being on show like a candy store full of sweets.

I just want to hide it away in a cocoon,
But I know that Mark will want to see it sometime soon,
I’ve tried to explain how I hate it so much
But he loves it to look at and to touch.

I always think he lies to me,
That he doesn’t really like what he can see,
When we lay together in our bed,
I wonder if he would rather be there with someone else instead.

This way of thinking drives me quietly mad,
It’s so much more than just feeling a bit bad,
I am constantly asking weather I look alright,
I cling onto the compliments so tight.

But when I’m by myself,
I tear myself to shreds and batter my mental health,
The mirror is my number one enemy,
As it shows me the way I am, not the way I’d like to be.

I can also relate to what your saying.
I feel that way all the time and it sucks.
But try to look on the bright side your man loves you.And all he see is how lovely his woman look.
That is all it matters .Try to feel better soon ok?By the way good write.

You're right. I CAN identify. Each time my boyfriend and I get together, I'm really really self concious even though he says he likes the way I look. But you don't need other people to tell you you're beautiful. Even if you can only find one aspect about yourself that you like, just think of that. Besides, There is so much more to you!!! I can see that in your writing! Everyone can see that! Looks don't matter. You have so much talent that you could be a hairy nasty spider, and people would still respect you. Screw what the other people think. Stop being so hard on yourself.
