In Her image…

Dark am I

and lovely!

Made in Her image

not chiselled,

starved,

or mutilated

by the whims

of fashion…

.

…dare I see this image,

this me?

When every day I am

challenged

by the flickering

images

on my T.V. screen;

challenged

with diets

and dyes

to conform,

to become

false…

…to deny Her image

by becoming

a caricature…

.

Dark am I

and lovely!

Made in Her image

not chiselled,

starved,

or mutilated

by the whims

of fashion…

.

dare I see this image,

this me?
