A Self Portrait

A day in the life of Fanicia.

Meaningful malice 

Indecision 

Inconsistent 

Never ending 

Don't want to choose 

Can't stop pretending 

Take the lead and then switch positions 

Dodge consequences 

So argumentive 

Go with the flow then get lost in it 

Unsure of who or what to be 

But never seeks simplicity

Author's Note

Ignore grammar (also i know the proper word to use is argumentative, but i just liked the way argumentive flowed better lol)

This is the best self-portrait I've read becuz of the self-honesty, which is rare. Most people will paint the portrait that they wish to be, or how they are thinking they are perceived by others (hopefully). I feel that showing the ugly parts without apology, as your basic acknowledgement that we ALL have ugly parts & these shouldn't be disguised or hidden -- it's all part of the awesome tapestry of being human. We give other people permission to be more self-honest when you present yourself as in this piece. Becuz your actual writing is a little jaggedy (not smoothly edited), the poem itself becomes an illustration of the dissatisfaction that comes thru, of how your true self-portrait has some rough spots. To me, self-honesty is the most important building block of having something significant to say in writing. (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

An honest self image. A reflection of the multifaceted life style of people out there whose character/attitude weavers. You're imagery painted the picture of character instability & emotional turbulence. It's a great write. I love it!
