I Choose Natural Beauty
I am sick and tired of the fakeness!
Go ahead,
Block me!
Unfriend me!
Ghost me!
Tell me I am not with the times.
I - don’t - care!
We now live in a world
Where natural beauty is
Chastised and crucified
To elevate and praise
All that’s fake.
Fake hair,
Fake nails,
Fake eyelashes,
Fake eyebrows,
Fake complexion,
Fake…
Go ahead,
Use your six-inch false nails
To reply and Cuss me out
Just for stating what is real,
For standing in defense
Of natural beauty.
Go ahead,
Use your dark knuckles
Punch me in the face
Just for having the balls to speak out
Against this new fake culture.
I - don’t - care!
Go ahead,
Block me!
Unfriend me!
Ghost me!
Tell me I am not qualified to speak.
We live in a world
Where we’re bullied into
Celebrating fakeness as being real.
Deep inside we know it is a lie,
But we stifle intuition
Just to fit in
With this high-level stupidity.
This is where I stop
And get off
This fake-ass bandwagon.
Go ahead,
Block me!
Unfriend me!
Ghost me!
I am tired of the fake
Nips and tucks,
I am tired of the photoshopping,
Tired of the video editing,
I am tired of the faking!
Dare to celebrate natural beauty
With its perfect imperfections.
Dare to uplift real beauty
In a world dominated by
Artificial fakeness.
