U.G.L.Y (U Gotta Love Yourself)

U.G.L.Y (U Gotta Love Yourself) 
I wonder?
Why we let mirrors and eyes
Become our judges,to see and really decide
If from the front back and the sides
 if we the ultimate prize?
Its the material things we often desire
Chasin until we cold in our coffin retired
Make up and eye liner to cover up so called flaws
Fashion magazines our real president,with its so flawed laws
Images of another,inspire us and we change for seasons
But when somebody finally say we beautiful,why the hell we don't believe it?
Then when hurt,if I'm so beautiful why you leaving?
WHY didn't u want me for life,instead of just for the evening
Misread you,but im learning
Fire of determination in hearts still burning
Blush and powders overpower after showers
Just so you can cause envy in the club after hours
Dreaming of being a Disney princess,crowned and being pampered since wearin pampers
Men lustin,u who trustin,causin "tents" in pants
But they left unhappy campers.... This ain't the way it should be

The mole on ya cheek or bump on ya face
Some people wish they had what u had,yet u frontin ya grace
Saying u fat,being u unwanted
Cause all through high school teased and taunted
Big small,some man loves and respects them all
Some in a shining armor would protect you all
You beautiful whether with weave and a shirt with no sleeves
Or in heels and a skirt with a gold piece
Obviously got made for someone,and you put on this charade for someone
At night when we felt alone,we've all prayed for someone
To come into our life,help us realize our beauty,thoughts turnin around
And all that negative ish we burn to the ground
And as long as you know,like I know ya beautiful
And only God is above yourself
Reading this poem goes a long way to helping u love yaself. -#shadedbrilliance #soul #poetry
