Wow! this was an incredibley strong piece! I totally agree with the ideas that jump out from the poem...the whole being beutiful issue resulting from image mad magazines that percieve stick thin models as the "norm". It drives me crazy really, especially the hypocrits that follow the star icons to a degree yet call everyone else vain and beauty is within.

this is beautiful. honestly. Truly inspirational. i feel your sorrow, and understand your discontent. i belive that this may be the way that every woman, and even some men feel about themself. keep on writing your truths!-R.W.

That was really good and insightful.

You probably wont read this review though, or any of the others that people will send.

It's a shame to lose you, and Iwish you well.

So true. I love this- ^_^ Excellently written. lol, I like this so much I don't know what to even say.
