    Life-size

    I am not put together how I want to be

    I want to change

    Is it so strange in this society?

    Lift my breasts up

    Cut my neck out and patch it up real tight

    Make my thighs small and my butt big

    That is what’s popular, right?

    Make me skinny, make me younger

    Am I looking like my old self yet?

    I want to feel good, make me happy

    For what I have, what can I get?

    This is what I’ve always dreamed of

    I’m not scared of your small knife

    I’m the doll I used to play with

    But I’m living real life

    "I’m the doll I used to play with"...wonderful line! it's a good poem with a good message...but from a 21 year old girl??? You want to look younger? Oh, to be 21 again! Nicely done, miss happiness..

    If it's at all reflective of how I see myself, it's a very very exaggerated reflection. I did write this at work, which is an old folks home. Can we say inspiration? Thank you for your comment. You are one of the best humor poets I've read in a while.

    Yes, we can definitely say inspiration. That's what makes for great poetry, putting oneself in a situation and writing about it. You do that very well...

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
