Description: My friend and I were talking about swimsuit shopping and how much we hate it.. haha.. but even when i have gone shopping with my thinner friends they still say they hate going swimsuit shopping too even though they look good in everything! but everyone has their insecurities even people who appear almost perfect. So I wrote this poem about how yeah sometimes i look at my thinner friends and go damn i wish i looked like that but i still have my own assests to be proud of .. and i have so much more than what can be seen. :)
Your Swimsuit is My Worst Nightmare -------------------------------------------
Lest it be told to you from someone else
Your swimsuit is my worst nightmare
It shows your tummy nice and flat
Mine it would show all my fat
That two peice you have on looks really nice
On me a disaster not once! But TWICE!
So dearest friend your swimsuit I despise
And yes there is a tinge of jealousy in my eyes
But one day this jealousy you will befall
When you see what I have to show all
This is a very lighthearted and humorous poem. It is nice to know that you are comfortable just being yourself and that you realize that beauty and worthiness are not just skin deep. It is a very healthy attitude to have. So many females obsess about being thin to the point that they develop eating disorders which eventually make them sick. Too bad more people dont share this healthy outlook that you have written with this poem. Very nicely written and gave me a smile with your humor! Take care!
lol, that's freakin awesome! props girl, i give you full respect for respecting yourself :) yeah, it's a funny poem, but it's also serious and that's sometimes a difficult combination to achieve, but you've done well. daddy like.
VERY saucy! I loved this. As I am a big beautiful woman I know what you mean. I would like to quote a movie if you dont mind..there is a great movie called Gia, about a drug-addictied, lesbian supermodel who contracts aids through a shared needle. when she is in rehab, she looks awful and another woman comments "those magazines should come with warning labels. Caution: Nobody looks like that. Not even you." Meaning that under special lights, ten pounds of makeup, tape and glue, those women are no more or less attractive than the rest. I personally have the idea that more beauty is intellectual and those men, not boys, who see that are worth it. I think you have a great sense of humor, though I sense at times it may be a fascade. I hope that you see how lovely you are....and trust me dear, I know a dozen girls would are skinny or thin and they always beg to trade me, so I feel for them too...loved only for their "Look"
This reminds of countless conversations I've had with my wife about the nature of attraction and why I chose her as my 'right one.' Attraction should always be more than physical because love lies beyond the electro-chemical processes of the brain. You can generally find self esteem in the same location. Without a doubt, if you stay true to yourself, you will be loved from the heart for who you are. Plastic begets only more plastic.
I have to agree with hyproglo here. Give me a real woman! Not someone when I'm in that "position" to my thing, I instead feel I should be making a wish on the bony wish bone in front of me. Skinny is way overrated! I bet your just fine and would make any man real happy!
I don't know any woman who doesn't feel she needs to lose weight!!
Bravo! I'm so tired of the media and little girls thinking that stick figures are the way to go. You just keep tellin' yourself REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES! This is a great piece, Traci :)
This was good! Self image and being concious of what others think is always a problem, with all! so fighting your problems is gr8, and what a way to fight! Your words sound as if someone may have just said it in their own mind, and some of the best poetry, comes from the mind, in an instant, from a contrast of everyday life! keep it up!
this is cute, i know what you mean, they don't have to be "stick" like either, just thinner than me with the right curves and nice abs, the kind the guys turn heads at, but we gotta remember one thing, most guys like looking at that, but when it comes to the "important" things they need a little cushion ;) don't want hips and ribs jabbing you in the middle of some good ol' fashion f**king. so thanks for this!
Hey! I'M a stick figure! Trust me, it's not all that great. I couldn't pack on a pound to save my life. I look like a popsicle stick from the side! Maybe someday we'll switch places and I'll write a poem like this and you'll tell me it's not all that great to be a stick. Funny poem. :)
