I haven't been paying much attention
To myself lately.
So yesterday
I spent most of my time
Taking pictures of myself
Without anything on.

I needed to see myself
Truly as the camera sees me.
And not as I see myself
In the mirror.
I was unnerved at first.
But then I felt better.
Because every scar
Told a story.
And I've got quite a few of them.

I then laid out all
All my undergarments.
Underpants and fishnets.
Brassieres and garters.
And wore them.
One by one.
I took pictures of those too.

I then pulled the Alice band
And did my hair.
I haven't being paying attention
To my face either.
I plucked my eyebrows.
They were like two
Lovers trying to meet
Over the bridge.

I washed my face.
Really, really washed my face.
With cleansers and stuff
And then made myself up.
Lipstick and eyeliners.
Mascara and powder.
And I took pictures too.

Later I looked back at
Those pictures of myself
Its called Phototherapy.
A smile was evident
In all of them.
You know why?
You really wanna know why?

Be nice and I just might just tell you ...
