That’s Who I Am

This is not about being confident

In your own skin!

Or about adoring

Your inner beauty!

I already know I’m amazingly rare

This is simply about ‘choice’.

And, so I will never be that girl

I’ve tried

Very hard

But I can’t!

And for what?

Just to please you!

I won’t be there with a perfect face!

I can’t!

Perfect isn’t real to me.

Those marks on my face

Shadows under my eyes

And not so glowy skin

Is lovely!

It’s lovely for me!

I won’t conceal them, with a concealer

I won’t even out my skin texture with a foundation

I won’t contour my nose

Won’t highlight

Not because I don’t know how to

Not because I don’t like makeup

Only because it’s my choice!

I might do it a hundred times over 

And not on the hundred and fifth time!

It’s simple really,

I don’t want to please you

Not through makeup

Besides everything!

That’s just my mood elevator

It’s not that I don’t do anything for the show

Or to please others

I do, I’m a girl born into this materialistic world after all!

But don’t you dare put me in any kind of category

You want love?

You want authenticity?

You want transparency?

Well then learn!

Learn to accept nature as it is!

Accept me as I am.

I have a good sense of humor

Good taste

Good sense of style

And many other good qualities

And with a big company of people with my kind of qualities!

Feeling lucky!

I’ll be acting like a clown

The one minute and

As a shy, classic girl another minute!

That’s just my mood

No need to categorize me

As a funny girl or a girly girl

I’m a person

I have a dynamic personality!

That’s who I am.
