Flawed Vision
You say, my hair is too kinky and my nose is too broad
But I see perfection it’s your vision that’s flawed
Complexion of mahogany , defined too dark by some
But I see pure radiance, kissed by the sun
You say my lips are too full and my hips are too wide
But you can’t see my true beauty until you open your eyes
You say that my flaws depict my inferiority
But rest assured that your chaotic view do not define me
You say that I’m conceited, but I say you lied
It’s just the grace of my walk and the elegance of my stride
You say that I’m egotistical and full of arrogance
What you really see is self-assurance, grace, and confidence
You say I’m attention seeking, too bold, and too proud
But I say uniqueness always stands out in a crowd
You say that I’m vain and I think I’m God’s gift to this earth
But I know my true value
I fully understand my worth.
If Helen of Troy possessed the beauty that launch a thousand ships across treacherous seas.
Then I possess the magnificence that brings all men to their knees.
