Mona Lisa
written by: Imeon504
Never had the face that could launch a thousand ships
Nor that Mona Lisa smile to make you glance a while
Not even a body to die for that can melt your insides
But I know my worth, I know I am good enough
For someone willing to take a chance on me
I am loyal honest and true
But I guess those qualities don’t count anymore
I want someone to look at me and see me
For whatever I am and not for whatever I should be
As dictated by a society born on fallacies
I am who I am
A fiery red, a nasty negative
But capable of love and care
I guess people do not really care anymore
I am a single mom to two teenagers, trying to keep my office survival in spite of the pandemic...writing poems has always been a passion for me...I scribble them down on little notes but still for my eyes only...writing poetry has been my outlet in letting go of emotions that tend to wear me down; it is also my constant companion when I find myself alone and waiting for someone or something. I was born in Angeles City, Philippines, with a degree in bachelor of science in accountancy.
