I am beautiful

So I don’t understand

I mean on most days, speaking candidly, I feel beautiful

My skin care routine is top-tier

And it took half a decade to get to this point

The point where I can be more relaxed in my routine and still feel at home in my own skin

Where my face and arms and the rest of me is so smooth

My Werther’s Original skin truly compliments itself

A dark honeycomb shaded without one blemish that gets complimented almost daily

A gentle skin routine over pours that blanket a strong jaw

Beautiful, soft cheeks, and tender obsidian eyes that glimmer when I smile

A star-striking sight

Hair, so dark and rouge and intertwined into lovely braids

I’m so much beauty, so much kindness

And so much personality in a petite package

So I don’t understand why it isn’t commonly said

Why it wasn’t commonly understood among potential connections

Or kindhearted souls

As irrelevant as the question may be,

How can such a masterpiece be before someone’s eyes,

And be misunderstood so heavily?
