Proud of my curves,
No, I'm not overweight.
Overburden with guilt, yes,
I'm not worth a clean slate...
My lips are full and plump.
My eyes, brown and bright.
But behind them is sadness,
Anger, and contrite...
My legs are long and slender,
I have hair, soft and thick.
I love my outer appearance
... But inside I am sick...
I am comfortable in my own skin,
Yet... I'm still unloved...

I think most of us go through this stage...where we feel that we are 'unloved'...but I also think that if we are comfortable in our own skin...someday they will see that we are worthy of their love...thank you for sharing this piece!

Me Unsolved in hurrying smiles and tears,
cared not where a great life stream run,
knew in a moment that the eternal skies
treasure a mystic gaze into a woman's eye.
Awesome write to express the self in such unselfishness.
