In My Skin©

I’m unique in my own skin
even when the rivals come to war
I stay strong
believing in
my own skin

They despise my big lips
that protrudes
words of wisdom
that forms an immaculate smile

My freckles
irritates their senses
blinding their own features
because they are defined
by society’s expectations

My confidence
scatter their thoughts
oblivious
because their own skin is tattered…torn
by unrelenting miseries
that plague their inner thoughts

My skin
relates to me
confides with me
hurts when I hurt
my skin
oh how I adore
my wild
but sensitive skin…

Nothing but the truth, isn't it @ because their own skin is tattered…torn

Love for our Image vs what's force-fed to us as beauty in the media needs to be addressed more.. parents should let their kids know how beautiful their skin and features are... When they learn this it Empowers their self-esteem.. It gets deep.. Love this piece -Salute!
