BODY IMAGE Poem: I am what i am not, by Elizabeth Agre

i am not tall or thin
i do not have blonde hair
i am not intelligent
i am not a good cook
or have a green thumb
i can not sing
i do not read or watch TV
i have wrinkly skin and graying hair
i carry an extra 20 lbs.
i have a smile that is not mine
i do not wear tight clothes
or have cute shoes
I drop things
I walk funny
I am what I am not
I am not what you want anymore
