Subject:      [WRITERS] Sub: Bio: She Paints Herself (look out,
              it's in *p o i m* form)

She paints herself

as she would be
if everything went right
and finds a new herself inside
she didn't know about

Sunny disposition
with funny laughter lines
a friend of all who need to smile
because they cry inside

Love comes easy
to a tender heart
strong enough to embrace the world
and willing to take the risk

Maybe in the next life
she'll get a better start
and find herself a closer match
to the one she could have been
