Where do I begin….
With this hair on my skin….
Its everywhere
Everybody stares in awe
You’re a girl
Why do you have hair
In between your eyes
Above your lips
Your arms
Legs
Arm Pits!
I cower in shame
Maybe I will never be a real girl
I shave and pluck
And nair my hair away
I have to be a real girl
I shave and pluck
And nair my insecurities away
I have to be like what they want
I shave and pluck
And nair myself away
Who am I
Where do I begin
With this hair on my skin
I will embrace it
It’s natural
It’s beautiful
It’s okay
To have hair
I don’t care
If I’m not who they want
If I have hair under my arms
I’ll raise it up proud
Tais always told me to keep it anyways
So let me listen to her for once
And not be ashamed of
The hair on my skin
That’s when I’ll begin
To truly love myself
Know myself
And be okay with who I really am
Not for them
Or for you
But for me
In this skin that I’m in.
