five things are all i can mutter when
ten are required.

finding me is a riddle meant to be loved
although no one deduces my eyes. look
closely, closer and his hair cuts open; it
exfoliates like an onion.

everyday has been taken care
and already, my time has come. no one thinks i listen like a boa
remembering each implicit fear.

nearing my mouth, the desert lips
own my face and my ear like foreclosed estate. my skin
shouts the pulling words and the oarsmen at my brow  
ebb like crying tides, but the ocean

smells like
home. dive in
or be pushed.
underneath, i am the arms of  
light bubbling to your ear. listen, you ask?
darkest days imply only light and
events do not occur as coincidences like elbows that rub.
respire and believe.

hints grow on my shoulders
in the blizzard of spring while
pi is a constant in which
all squares go around and round.

lest you rationalize,
embrace your thickest thighs.
good is relative to words people
say, though it cramps and cramps.

freedom is an enslaving engima
existant without limits. there
exists your face, ear, nose, shoulders, hips, legs and
toes and so too will you.
I have to be honest: I wasn't on board with the self-image thing at first. I wasn't a fan of poetry about myself but truthfully, I never really wanted to admit that I cared for myself even though I kept lying about it simultaneously. But after chromeantennae wrote this,

5'7'', 176 LBS (170 CM, 80 KG) 

it set off a huge response in here. (which you should go take a look)

This Deserves a Feature On Its Own

I was still hesitant to go on board because it wasn't what I usually write, but somehow I ended doing it? I am actually surprised by how well it turned out.

Thank you, Ricky. You're incredible at inspiring people. I would never have thought about this without you starting. (:
