So because one can never have too many commitments I signed up for Self Portrait Sunday from here on out will be refered to SPS and hopefully it will incourage me to post more often….
So here is my first SP since it is now technically sunday and also my first piece in my Moleskine/Art Journal so here you go, not my best work but I’m still fond of it(p.s. I’m fond of drawing crying eyes soo ummm get used to it)
Simple drawing in 4×7? journal with bic ballpoint pen…
That damn save as draft button always screws me up so yesterday was silent poetry reading in blog land and this is some of my own….
Due to copyright laws I won’t be sharing some of my favorite author, Sylvia Plath’s poetry so instead I give you some of my own…. This is called “Ode to Mia” something some of you may know is that I’m recovering from eating disorders I’ve been in recovery for about 6 years… In the eating disorder community the girls* like to personify their disorders by naming then Ana and Mia this poem is about taking back control…
A Ode to Mia
By Brooklynne Michelle
I don’t eat in public
I can’t stand to see
People staring, gawking
At fat, fat, fat me
My thin clothes are tiny
My fat clothes are too small
Even the muu muu is snug
Why do I bother at all
Oh Mia, Oh Miss Mia
How I want to invite you
Listen to the words you whisper
But I know your lies are not true
You snuck in my house last night
You pulled me past the border
But this is your warning Mia
I’m filing a restraining order
I’m taking back my body
I will not stand for anymore
So I’m telling you now
I’m permantly bolting my front door
I don’t need you never have
Your not my friend never were
Lots of people love me how I am
That’s something I know for sure
I usually don’t condone murder
But your one bitch that needs to die
You and your sister Ana
Kiss your asses goodbye
