I Have It All
Location
"Wear pretty clothes." they said.
So I did.
Some I felt fat in, some I felt uncomfortable.
"Try some eyeliner." they said.
So I did.
It looked awkward; I felt unnatural.
"You don't wear high heels?" they asked.
I didn't reply.
Was I supposed to?
I tried it all, from the clothes, the make-up, and the killer heels
but I was never satisfied.
The glitz and glam, the powdery make-up, the soreness in my feet was not suitable for someone like me.
"I wear jeans and t-shirts." I said.
"I put on lip balm and my face is perfectly fine." I said.
"High heels? I love flats and my pretty toes."
The comfort of my own skin feels best when I get out the shower, enveloped by steam.
I arise in the mornings and look at myself in the mirror pleased with who I am.
I dance with no one is looking with my bare feet and boy, do I dance.
And I say to myself, "I am beautiful; I am flawless."
