Dust off

No, it’s not true I’m not trying to change you I just want you to see You are most beautiful at your natural state Your extensions blur your crown Your powder and paint distort your beauty It blinds not only I but you to your esteem No, it’s not true I’m not trying to demean you I just want you to see If they make you so beautiful and empowered Why do you wipe it off for me and put it on for them? Do you hate me that much that I’m to look at the ugly you? If you can’t see who you are, who should?
