No Additions, No Subtractions


No additions, no subtractions, I am an ordinary woman Simply less gorgeous than what my pictures look like I am a woman with flaws With acne, small eyes, and facial hair Nothing too special about my body Other than my frail, skinny body No additions, no subtractions, I am an artistic woman I draw my inspirations, and aspirations I make change in the community with art I release my thoughts through pencil and paper No additions, no subtractions, I am a woman of brains Showing my knowledge, and intellect I crave for success No additions, no subtractions, I have many aspirations I am a woman who falls and tries again Over, and over My failure does not define me Rather, it is my path of success No additions, no subtractions, I am a loud woman Speaking my mind when it is necessary My voice echoes through the room Flowing through each person's ears Hearing my chitter-chatter of what is necessary and unnecessary No additions, no subtractions, I am just an ordinary person Letting my heart roam through the world Expressing my thoughts in many shapes and forms I demonstrate my small qualities In the most visual way possible
