Embrace the Shadow
I pump it in my hand and smear it on that specific spot on my face
Instead of embracing, I try keenly to erase it.
I attempt to negotiate with it, but it keeps punching me back.
It makes it unbearable to look at myself, because all i see is black.
Like a dark shadow creeping over me with extreme force
Expanding, dominating, and darkening without any remorse
It will be there inevitably, so it is crucial to learn to love it
I would be undoubtedly happy if i walked around without a worry
Without any filters, I let my birthmark embrace and show how
it won't overpower me. I’m happier when I’m not trying to hide.
Its a mark that doesn’t define me.
