Don't be the Insecure
Location
One million mirrors
Reflections of me
Can easily evoke my imperfections making it clearer to see
That most people like me cant bare with their insecurities
Milk, carmel, chocolate
Light, brown, dark
Different shades of skin
Not food, whereas you can crumble and tear apart
To say that one is better than the other is just ignorant because we're all black
You get nothing out of that
to just sit back
and discriminate against someone's complexion like there's not history about that particular unlocked mystery
Where's your sympathy ?
I mean, I wouldn't be expository only if you took time out to think before you talk and learn your history
You're not hurting my feelings, I'm beautiful and I know I'm appealing.
So why should I care ?
You dont force my chest to fear, or make me burst into tears.
I'm confident with my appearance,
I know my brain is flooding with brillance and ignorance i'sn't worth the time
So why should I care ?
Because all I know is that for summertime, my body will be looking mighty fine.
I love myself estatically and I'm happy with who I am, no one can tell me otherwise.
But there's one thing that needs to be revealed, no matter the fear.
All this talk is opposite of how I feel and in all honesty,
I wish I didn't care.

Thanks to poetry, I'm able to express my feelings and emotions.
When I write, it's as if everything is flowing smoothly
and relief is running through my veins. This poem about my insecurities
is very personal and sensitive. It's my view of me and maybe relatable for
others. Finding poetry was a blessing.
