Prettiest Girl in the Room

by Butternose
The prettiest girl in the room,
I am certainly not.
Five-feet, seven inches,
Weighing more than a lot.
Though my boobs are big,
And they get all the stares,
They're nothing but fat,
And I'd lose em' if I just took the stairs.
My butt is silky smooth and pleasantly plump,
Just like J-Lo's,
As long as it's squeezed into queen-sized, control top pantyhose.
My arms are too manly for any sleeveless shirt,
And my thighs are too lumpy,
So forget the mini-skirt.
My feet are so dry,
And my toes are too long.
Only sneakers for me please,
No open-toed stilettos or cutsie summer thongs.
My hands are not feminine,
Not one insie bit.
My nails are all brittle,
And my fingers are short, knuckly and thick.
To top it all off, my hair is somewhere in between,
What it was fifty dollars ago,
And the two-inch dark roots that are easily seen.
I never wear make-up,
All natural gal here.
Besides,
My rosacea would shine through any foundation I smeared.
The prettiest girl in the room,
I am certainly not.
But I have personality for miles,
Which, I've been told, counts for more than a lot.

It's amazing what creativity comes from a concoction of little sleep and too much stress. Although I'm way off this morning I am grateful for the result - enjoy!

A storm is brewing
It's alive.
With every breath,
It feeds and thrives.
A storm is brewing
Out of control.
Beyond my body,
Poisoning my soul.
A storm is brewing
I'm caving in.
Nor strength or faith,
Can conquer this sin.
A storm is brewing
And once it has passed,
The skies will open,
But that will fade fast.
A storm is brewing.

In Love

by Butternose
(Click on the song "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" and get a feel for how it set the mood on this entry)

Though a mountain's peak soars beyond the clouds,
And can be seen for miles around,
It is a mountain's valley,
The lowest point,
Where true strength is often found.
Such as life,
At our lowest points,
We are quick to look above.
But above it all,
Where true strength is found,
Is in two hearts that are one,
In love.
