No beauty without being within

My Skin
My body
My hair
My eyes
My nose
My lips

Is admired but despised at the same time
The most influential culture that they want to inherit, 
but not completely cross the line
Then they would have the opportunity of dealing with the injustices faced on a daily basis
Just because of my appearance constantly spoken about and looked down upon in so many places

My body is  just a body
My skin is just skin
It's my soul you should judge
ignore what's on the outside and focus on what's within.

Divisions were created within the society
so to treasure my roots and what is natural is what I've been taught
but so much negativity on what were born with that eyelashes , hair, and bleach is being bought

Love yourself
Love all
Short , curvaceous, slim, and  tall
beauty starts from within 
when your soul speaks
to he or she who calls.
