Be Yourself  Woman

There are too many women brushing bitterness out of their hair  
in despair
 
touching up tear drops on their foundation but the cracks are too deep  
how she weeps  
 
no wonder why women take so long in the restroom  
Perk your breast  
Fix your mess room
 
20 pounds too large  
20 pounds too light  
Until they are hallow  
All for a LIKE or a FOLLOW
 
telling people that her scars are beauty marks when there are  
bruises buried behind the blush  
a sad story you can’t hush
 
Glossy layer of insecurity  
Lips like a red flag
Subtle Sadness in her swag  
drinks til she stags  
 
Girl lift your chin up!
 
Add an inch to her heels  
for every time that she feels  
put below her worth  
 
Depression births  
Under their skirts  
 
Waiting for a flirt to ease the hurt
yet all it does is hinder healing.
Has empty sex to numb her feelings.

Shit he be flexing and she be feeling.
To the wrong one she be kneeling.
She’s so revealing.
 
Laced back
False lashed
Wing eyed yet crashing
Botox smiles barrier trials  
 
Honey, It’s okay to cry  
don’t let that guy
make you ashamed of who you are.
 
You used to love yourself  
in a messy bun
pushing pennies in Payless  
Had too much power in principle  
To pretend you were a pervert’s “pretty”  
 
In your pimpled face and crooked smile
happy was your style
your confidence made you cute  
 
Wash your face and show your beautiful.  
Girl, you are beautiful!
