Delli Thami Poet Free verse

You Is Good Too

Do not conform to society standard of beauty 

refuse it 

The way you look is fine

The way you dress is fine 

You are fine

Your dark skin is fine

Your naps and curls are astounding

There is no fault if acnes scars Grace your face

There is no wrong if strech marks hug your body all around

Who is to blame for hyperpigmentation? 

Nobody

A crooked tooth doesn’t make you any less

A limp in your walk is not a limp in your personality 

You are beautiful 

Far beyond the measure of man

Crafted by God

In excellence 

So do not conform

You are you

And that's beautiful too

I try to write a lot of body positivity because I see so many hurting because of how their image is and how they perceive themselves. I hope with all my works that I get a chance to reach people, even one person. Thanks for stooping by and reading ! - Delli :)
