Wonderful poem with great flow and rhyming. So true that people focus on what they don't like or would change. I love your points on perception and where true happiness lies. Your picture choice is a perfect fit for your words. Excellent work and a great message! :)

Comment from BeasPeas
This is an amusing poem on one's own body image. Rhyming is good. I like the content and lesson to be learned, which is to be grateful for what we've got. Here are my favorite lines:
"You wish that he'd made you
in ways that you're not.
It's time to refocus
on the things that you've got."

A simple thing to be happy is looking our face at the mirror.Our mind easily projects what other parts in our face has still the recapping touch.Nose,cheeks,chin need attention. Other imperfections on fatty sides but the inner being has all the beautiful virtues in life.All are created unique and beautiful in the sight of God.An excellent prose to rate 6.Thank you so much Dr.Nad

Comment from mauial
This was very well written. Perfection, we cannot now have because we inherited imperfection, simple as that. So as you write will find happiness:
The art of happiness is . . .
wanting what you already have"!

This is a very good poem. ,I am called African American, but some people hate the color of my skin. I am fine with the color, but for some strange reason I would rather have the problem of wanting to change some other imperfection instead of people hating me for the color of my skin. Cheers!

No problem. Read my review of your work again, and imperfection is not the right word to use because the color of a man's skin is not imperfection!
Comment from kiwisteveh
This is a thought-provoking piece, forcing the reader to evaluate their own feelings when they stand in front of a mirror - you are right, most people see the negatives first and foremost, a habit that can lead to all kinds of self-esteem issues.
Your abcb rhyming quatrains rhyme well although the meter is irregulaar in places.

This skillfully written poem with clever rhyme and smooth meter has words of wisdom . It clearly describes how dissatisfied we are due to surrounding pressures of what's acceptable. last line offers good advice.

Comment from MelB
Love how the poem ends and isn't it so true? We spend a lot of time hating everything about ourselves and God is happy with what He created. Took me a long time to become comfortable in my own skin.
