My Flaws
I'm too thin; I'm too fat,
I could never wear that!
With my dark circled eyes
And my thick, flabby thighs
It is no wonder why
I've no eligible guy.
My hair is too long; My hair is too short
And you won't catch me dead

In thick baggies I hide-
From those terse, judging eyes.

Flirting's only a sting.

That's no trouble at all.
What I'm wearing
Sparks no glaring-
And even covers my flaws!

Not flat
by Sarah Martin

Ribs visible and a sixteen inch waist,
Her shapely body must have been misplaced.
This five stone delight
