I\'m average height, people say I'm thick, that’s just a polite way of saying fat, I have green eyes which change with weather and mood, long legs, lanky arms. I have long hair so I can hide, wear makeup to cover my flaws, I smile when sad, hide when I cry, I love my children, but I'm jealous of their innocence and naivety, I smoke too much, I drink even more, I'm an empath and I wish I wasn't, I'm not sure who I am, I have pale skin with bones beneath, my soul aches, when I scream nothing comes out, or maybe no one listens, I feel love, I feel anguish, I'm homesick, I'm confused, I'm torn, I question myself when I think I'm right and they're wrong, I ask too many questions I feel like I'm going to implode, I like to have fun, dance, talk, walk funny, I have problems making friends with women, I like hanging out with guys, no one understands, I want to be cloned, so I have someone to get along with, I'm easy going, but I never seem to get the same treatment, I try to see the best in people, I'm misunderstood, I'm not a racist, Bigot or homophobe, but always seem to be surrounded by them and their close mindedness, I have big breasts that I could use to get what I want, but I don't, I don't dress whorish, I always wear jeans, I prefer silver to gold, I don't know who I am, I write a lot, to try and sort my head out, I'm scared of ending up like my mum, I'm scared of forgetting things, I learn fast, I'm anal about little things I like my dish cloths folded twice into a square, I’m a perfectionist, I’m a typical Virgo, I sometimes hurt myself just to feel, I remember peoples names, I'm a bit of a hermit, I have strong beliefs, I'm passionate, I talk a big game sometimes, I'm bitchy and moody, I don't like people much, I don't know who I am, I like a lot of different things, its hard to hold my interest, I think I'm comfortable with myself, but I'm wrong, cause I don't know who I am, I know wrong from right, I read to escape myself, I wish I was other people, I would change many things in my life, I lie, I have stolen before, I have tiny feet, I like animals I know all this but I don't know who I am, I'm trying to find out
I had a certain friend of mine add me to deviant watch in hopes of getting me to post more, I've been holding onto this for a few months so I thought what the hell.
Thank you to my wonderful saint of a friend Xenothaulus for the screen shot, the one I made was...um, crap! He's an amazing poet as well as artist so make sure you all check out his stuff Thank You again dear!

The poem is pretty self explainitory I wasn't sure whether to post it in Poetry or Prose enjoy!

Kasha.

I can almost see myself from what you write.
Not in the little things like clothing, and I definetely don't have big breasts, and I don't smoke and hardly ever drink.
But it is the core, that everyone, I think, can relate to.
You can say alot about yourself. There's a lot that makes a person.
And yet, it takes a lifetime to truly discover and understand oneself.

That's why (from the comments I read) everyone feels its so raw and real. Coz it is.

This goes on my comp. Copy and paste in Word XP. Thank you very much. :heart:
