She wants long straight hair
but her curly Afro is just as beautiful
She wants bright blue eyes
but her gorgeous brown eyes glimmer in the sunlight
She wants to be thin
but her curves run deep like backroads
She wants perfect clear skin
but her scars tell stories
But her stretch marks are as if they were beautifully painted
She wants to be the beauty that’s normalized because she’s scared of creating her own
definition of beautiful
