At four hundred pounds
she filled every room
I am beautiful!
I am amazing!
I am entertaining!
I will help you succeed!
They didn’t question
her self-control
her ugly words
her petty cruelties
her avarice
They accepted every word
and made it true.

Shawn L. Bird 
It’s frightening the power some people have … and the way they use it. Scary poem!
Yes.
a very interesting piece – each time i read it, i interpret it differently. I will say that charisma can be as dangerous and blinding as any drug…. this is one of the ways I am reading into this piece. the other is the ‘who gives a d*mn what others think’ approach. Very cool poem and very thought provoking.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely love this. My only regret is that I haven’t read more of your work. Looks like it’s time to fix that!
Welcome to my world! Have fun wandering about. 😉
An interesting and brilliantly thought-provoking poem – how exuding a supreme air of confidence can be self-promoting and blind others to your faults. Dangerous…
but the mighty inevitably fall
Yes indeed 🙂
Beyond the intriguing story that your other commenters have already touched on, I think the poem has a delightful rhythm. Nice work, as always 🙂 -Shane
