Standing in front of a mirror

I observe  my dark brown skin

Filled with blemishes and hyperpigmentation

Lips dry, and cracked with no color

Eyelids too dark for any eyeshadow to be seen 

I must fix this

Grab the velvety smooth foundation in light beige

When I'm really a cappuccino 

Grab the baby pink gloss as if I´m a bratz doll

When I'm really more of a berrier shade

Grab blue eye contacts

When I'm really a dark brown

There, I am finished

But where am I

Looking at the same mirror

I do not see those dark spot of hyperpigmentation

Or cracked lips reflecting no pink

But I also don't see me

It's like I am a whole different person

A figure of what society likes to see

Porcelain fair skin

Absolute no signs of being normal

Big round lips, overglossed with shimmers

Colorful eyes as if neutral is too boring

I will not let society shape me

Grab the foundation in cappuccino

When I usually lean to light beige 

Grab the ripe berry matte lipstick share

When I usually lean to the light pink gloss

Remove those blue contacts

When I usually remove my clear ones

I will embrace my natural beauty
