Who Am I?


Normal girl (So she seems)

Chocolate skin

Few dark spots here and there

Small eyes

Small teeth

She uses oil and slowly 

begins to take off the materials made from the earth

Eyeliner, wiped off

Eyeshadow, wiped off

pretty in pink lipstick, Wiped off

Chocolate brown eyebrow pencil, wiped off

She looks in the mirror, and doesn't like what she sees

She doesn't match up to society's standard of beauty

But then she remembers, that she was made in someone's image

She had something more beautiful INSIDE of her that could never match up to her outer beauty

She had Love, Compassion, and Wisdom and God

She is Beautiful and cannot be told she isn't otherwise
