Poem Commentary

Everyday we look at television and see these perfectly shaped models, we look in the mirror and we see that we do not resemble these superstars and we start thinking less and less of ourselves. But what you dont see is when these models get up in the morning they look just like you and me. They probably have a crew that puts them together when they get ready to go on tv. They have flaws too. We need to embrace our flaws and all of our imperfections and love who God made us to be..................................................

I Am Perfectly Me

If you ask me who I be, I will tell you, I am perfectly me
no i don't have a lot of junk in my trunk
nor do i possess a pair of 44 D's
my hair is not long and flowing
and i don't have the fliest gear you see
but if you ask me who I be, I will tell you, I am perfectly me

nope, i don't have the prettiest face
i don't have a 24 inch waist
and after me most men don't chase
but if you ask me who I be, I will tell you, I am perfectly me

I don't have a high powered job or a fancy house up on the hill
I don't have a Benz or a Mazarroti that's at my disposal to wheel
but if you ask me who i be, I will tell you, I am perfectly me

So many ask the question, well why are you so confident and so sure of who you are

And why are you always so happy go lucky when your not a superstar
And i respond by saying, "Because none of those things define me or tell you who i really be, but if you ask me I will tell you, God made me perfectly me".

Womenn need to stop letting the world dictate what is beautiful and what is sexy, Love who you are and who God made you to be

Yes, indeed, you are God's special creation; so you don't need the phony titles to define you. It's great you are able to express your joy because that is sending pure gratitude to the Creator. Enjoy and find the bliss each day because we were made to enjoy and spread joy. Nice read.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
