My Profile

Denotes intelligence they say

Large nose,

At least from the side

Little mouth,

Sometimes too stern and frowning

Chin that slightly recedes,

Makes me seem British

Though I am not supposed to be.

Hair shaggy on the top of my head,

Like a My Little Pony’s mane

Covers eyes and hits the top edge

Of the black square glasses I wear

My lips are always unpainted

A little dry

I should drink more water.

Profile moves down,

A long neck, slender into shoulders

That carry some extra weight

Large breasts,

Too big,

They don’t fit my personality.

I look at myself, look in the mirror

Before I never saw me looking back

Now I see me, with

A little too much padding
