Unpolished Perfection

Unpolished Perfection

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

 
 

Unpolished Perfection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unpolished perfection

A jewel in the rough

Seeking approval

And the going is tough

 

A full length mirror

Brings sorrow to the girl

The vision she sees

Sends her mind in a whirl

 

Scraped is her spirit

Lonely is she

Wrapped in emotion

She can’t let it be

 

Lamentations commence

Her cries catch in her throat

At this point in time

She’s no queen on her float

 

Breaking the pattern

She has to remain strong

Scrape fat from her plate

So she can belong

 

An alphabet of reasons

Causes her to abate

Her mirror image sings out

You must lose this weight

 

The pitch in her voice

Rises to the breaking point

Her full length mirror

She will not disappoint

 

Six weeks of denial

Took inches away

Her figure in curved

Now she carries a bouquet

 

She rides on her float

Queen for a day

Landed a dreamboat

Her smile is here to stay

 

 

medieval queen

There are many out there that can relate to this piece... yours truly included at times!
The title caught my attention and then the graphics... but your words put it all together... and made it unquie and creative. Unpolished perfection is honest... thoughtful.. and capped with a very bright ending.

Great ink! :)
