Beauty Or the Beast

Marked for beauty or for grossness
Central chest area, just like my ancestors
Which ones I won't confess, yet...
I debate each year-- remove the beast?

Or let the beauty live as a heritage of my family
So there it resides evident centrally
A pebble in the road, that leads through the valley
Forgotten mostly, yet a point to greet on the journey

Wish they had left me a beach front condo instead
At least it is not in the center of my forehead!



For the Holy Mole-y contest!!

Monica Evette Date: 9/13/2010 7:17:00 AM As someone who's still sprouting moles I completely identify with this piece. Some are flat against my skin some are risen, those are the ones I hate. I struggle with having them removed because I know where they come from just like you. Thanks for making me laugh about something I really never liked about myself. Monica Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/8/2010 7:08:00 PM Amazing, Doris. I seem to have an "inherited" mole as well. I thought this was a coincidence, but maybe there's a genetic tie. Enjoyed the humor! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
