"Beaut{i}ful {Self Defined}"
  by Laydii Lyric


this is for
any woman who has
ever doubted her beauty
enjoy
...

Can you take me
being naked?
subjecting flaws before you-
bare
.
.
.
with no
Mac or Mary Kaye
to make up
what is naturally conveyed

Securing
{un}secured adjustments
ignoring societies judgments
approving
unrefined facts that
titties may or may not be
any number of D-
sitting
upright and pretty
harboring any of Victoria’s
so called “secrets “
underneath my logo tee
.
.
.
You think you can-
take the

d
o
w
n
south figure 8
unperfected shape
I trace-
boldly showing
you

all of me

including the
size 14 that is sewn in the
back of my jeans-
rubbing the case
that thighs
chafe
and the
w…i…d…t…h
of my hips
that supposedly started out
“wrong”
and my booty
was considered
country and homegrown

at 9
looking 12
and
at 15
looking 19
.
.
.
bet-w-een
cotton and seems
you seen
stretch marks
wondering to embrace
that my waist size
just
may not be a 25
.
.
.

-See-
I need a real man
with genuine sincerity
not worshiping
only
the art of my
femininity
but working with
the simplistic encumber
that goes into being
me

accepting
that
the texture of my hair
may not be the
fake make
of
African Remi
mixed with
Indian
expelling
Beverly Johnson
as a
biweekly bill

will you
accept my
super-curly kinks
that I
twirl around my
{un}freshly manicured finger
being that I
de{fine}my own
definition
auto-admitting
being pretty in
f-u-l-l
.
.
.
valuing
vulnerability
since no one can really judge me
purposely
disobeying
Barbie Doll Rules
accepting that

I AM
my own beautiful
