I have these imperfections That I try to cover up But recently I’ve ditched the concealers For a more natural and tired look And to my surprise I have never been called beautiful More times in my life The warming of my heart Stemming from the compliments Adds a glow to my cheeks That not even the most expensive of highlighters could provide The wide smile across my lips Creates a perfect shade of lipstick That you wouldn’t find at the Mac store The sincerity heard from strangers Creates a sparkle in my eyes Hence eyeshadow is no longer needed People point out the allure Where I myself see flaws And instead of unattractive I have never felt more beautiful

Natural Beauty
I have these imperfections That I try to cover up But recently I’ve ditched the concealers For a more natural and tired look And to my surprise I have never been called beautiful More times in my life The warming of my heart Stemming from the compliments Adds a glow to my cheeks That not even the most expensive of highlighters could provide The wide smile across my lips Creates a perfect shade of lipstick That you wouldn’t find at the Mac store The sincerity heard from strangers Creates a sparkle in my eyes Hence eyeshadow is no longer needed People point out the allure Where I myself see flaws And instead of unattractive I have never felt more beautiful
