My days aren't always great,
but when they are, it's very sunny.
Sometimes I may run late
and have to hop to it like a bunny.
But boy you should know that my life is crazy awesome
I am a perfectionist with a capital P. Let down if I get less or equivalent to a B, because I want to be the best that I can be, and yet, I can never seem to keep my room clean for more than a week...
When I look in the mirror, who do I see?
A beautiful black girl with,
A smooth queenly head, dark and lovely, held high, glimmering with
Fierceness,
Pride, and
Innate awesomeness.
I woke up like this…
You woke up like this…
Who woke up like this? Flawless.
Saying we look so good tonight,
But how will we feel tomorrow?
Guilt,
Shame,
Nausea?
Dentists would always call me "Bucktooth Beaver,"
Potentially straight teeth, was everyone, even I, a nonbeliever?
The other girls said my breasts remind them of a boy,
I am independent, strong, and ambitious
I’ve got goals, aspirations, that are oh so vicious
Because I don’t hold myself down, I keep myself up
A word that I've used,
More often than not.
The word itself,
Looks like a work of art.
Wednesday, I look okay.
I went to school, makeup I had clung to
Now washed away.
Dear Me,
It doesn't matter what you say, you don't know me
I don't even know me...well I'm still trying to figure me out
And yes I have flaws but name a person who doesn't. Not you. And certainly not I.
Everyone is BEAUTIFUL.
FLAWLESS is unattainable;
as is PERFECTION,
GOD is the only being of Perfection.
He created us, in His Image;
So aren't we all Beautiful?
Beauty is measured by your soul,
Society trying
to mislead me
Make me something
I’m not
Or are they
Trying to rip
The veil
In front
of my
blind eyes
To reveal
What I have yet
To see
I'm not flawless
I'm not perfect
But with my personality,
I promise I'm worth it
I have many talents
Blessed with many gifts
I can't name them all
So, I'll just make a list
