Letter To Society

Dear society
stop bringing me down
stop making it seem like my thin eyebrows whom I inherited from my beautiful mother is wrong.All because it doesn't fit your beauty standards.As if the only way for eyebrows to look good are for them to look thick
stop bringing me down just because my lips don't look like kylie's injected ones and don't get me wrong she looks amazing !
When you degrade the features i've been made with 
you degrade my parents,my parent's parents and so on
Stop bringing me down just because my body does not demonstrate a small waist
big butt and boobs
it does not mean i don't define beauty
My skin that suffers with acne and scarring
does not mean i do not fit into the category of beauty 
There is no such thing as perfect skin or a flawless human being 
I am made up of many flaws 
My nose that contradicts the portrait of a beautifully shaped barbie face
And my tiny eyes that hold together my tiny lashes.
Everything about me is flawed and that's okay because I am proud to be who I am and how I look

Tiffany, every women has a spark of heaven. I've noticed women are not as pretty as they're painted. They cannot change their character.

A lovely poem of self-confidence. True beauty is not at a glance, nor by chance...It's your nature uncovered... All the best Tiffany
