I am Beautiful

I am beautiful

See the pools of dark brown soil  

with hints of gold that reach for the light

those are my eyes

I am beautiful

See the skin that glows 

when I smile so vibrantly 

that is my happiness

I am beautiful 

see the hair that makes the sun jealous

and the dust of pink

that is my hair

I am beautiful 

with or without beauty paint on my face

with or without a filter

I am indeed beautiful.
