What is ‘beauty’ and who decides? External beauty may be attained with the mask of makeup, but isn’t it more important how I feel inside?
This is a personal opinion.
No, I’m not beautiful By the standards you’ve written My face doesn’t glow My scars aren’t hidden
I tried to cover up Everything that I saw Pimples, blackheads, dark circles Everything which you called a flaw
I followed all the suggestions Good and bad, great and small Looked at my skin then It didn’t seem like mine at all
That girl with all the flaws layered Was looking perfectly ethereal But soon, I’ll wash my face And return to the skin that’s real
My face is what it is If you hate it, that’s fine It isn’t a canvas I won’t paint it with glitter and shine
For this lifetime This is how my skin will be I may not meet your standards But I’m confident and free
