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

Thank You So Much For Your Kind Words. 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 :)
