Hi Michael,

Glad I popped round to your forum.

This poem had a lot to say and absorb but I can understand where the theme orginates, I see it too every day on the faces of people. I love the line:

So turn all of your sour and disgusting
looks that are on your face,
Into a smile of pride...

We need to understand that we are enough as we are. Yes we can achieve greater understanding of "self" as we work toward being more of our true nature.

Thank you for having the courage to share your work.

Nick
