Unloved

Struggle. 

I struggle with the perception of beauty

the misconception of pretty

and the addiction of love

thoughts dance in my mind 

wondering if i'm going unloved 

hair straight 

pretty eyes 

all these things I despise 

cause I have none of those things 

I can never look so divine 

mud brown 

curly life 

I never knew such looks could be criminalized 

how can someone go unloved 

when we live in a place so beloved
