It's a tough call, especially for ugly ducklings to see anything but the false reflections. Kudos on knowing who you are and basking in it. It *is* an art we are too often not taught, to love oneself.

This was great..so opposite my reflection..legs that go on only far enough to reach the ground and get me where I need to go...etc. Let me borrow your mirror.

Well....I can see exactly why the poem is titled "Vanity"....haha....anyways....It was a very good descriptive write. The figurative language was outstanding...

From this write I'd say you have no problem at all with your self image. You are a lovely young lady. My thought is sometimes women like to expose themselves because they want the attention. They have lacked attention in their life, and this is one way to get it. They want someone to look at them, they need some sort of recognition. I find it sad. Why can't we as women realize it's our minds we should be exposing not our bodies(I know you have no problem with showing your body). Just remember Brit you are beautiful and as long as you know that it shouldn't matter what others think, and negative attention is not a good thing sis(You're always telling me about guys saying stuff to you).Believe in the strong beautiful woman you are. Peace Laura

Well kinda reading your posts back to front.
But in contrast to the other poem, vanity 2 here you see and feel such beauty, and revel in it with each word written and so very vividly composed.
But I still feeling that with your last poem you were selling yourself short.
Well you take care ok
