Penciling in the outline
Making sure to get the shape right
adding as much detail as I can
My eyes
How do I color them?
Sometimes they are Grey
I add Grey to the pallet
Sometimes they are pale blue
Mix pale blue with it
When they shine in the sun, they're true blue
Mix in true blue
When I cry, they're deep turquoise
So I mix in deep turquoise
I get a color
describing loneliness, happiness, sadness, gentleness, quietness,
a color describing me
For my skin
Find me a hue of brown as light as can be
before becoming white
The color for my face
I can't forget to preserve some darkness
for my fading freckles
As for my hair
From the roots to the tip
It gets lighter and lighter
Oak brown to honey blond
I won't use crimson red for my lips
I won't use flamingo pink either
I'll just mix them
It won't be too bright
and it won't be too dim
I mustn't forget to shadow
Representing the bad things in my life
such as sadness, enemies and doubts
But don't fret
There are always highlights to overcome the shadows
Happiness to overcome sadness
Friends to overcome enemies
and hopes to overcome doubts
A self portrait such as mine
can never be complete
I'll probably just throw it away
and restart another next week

Description:
This, I made in 2008...
I have a bunch of poems I made on my computer.
I've shown them to my family and teachers, now I want to know what Gaia thinks.
I'm showing this one because when I made it, my dad read it, then he quickly showed my mom... Then he told me how much talent I have, and how he envies me.
Tell me what you think! - Date: 02/06/2009

The date is now 2017. I doubt you come back to this site at all anymore. And it's a wonder that I got to it.
But I have to ask you.
Do you still hide yourself? You shouldn't. You're talented. Way more than I am and ever will be when it comes to writing.
You talk about happiness and sadness but, the real picture is, you never express it out. And I hope you did. Because you'd regret it if you didn't, if you haven't started being you. - Report As Spam
