Natural Beauty

Natural beauty
Is an everyday thing.
Why folks only notice beauty
when they see makeup?
Makeup is war paint.
You wear it when you’re on a mission.
To enhance or
change your looks.
A person is beautiful
Everyday
with their natural face.
Just because you chose to wear makeup
everyday
like it’s part of your wardrobe
does not make you pretty, beautiful, or unique.
If you can’t be without it
because your face scares children,
makes women go into labor and
has stores pulling our Halloween candy saying “trick or treat”
it’s a personal issue.
Beauty
is beyond skin deep
I’m tired
of being defined as beautiful
because I decide to wear makeup one day
So back up before you speak
how about giving me or any woman
a real compliment.
