she.

she.

A Poem by mae

She wasn’t conventionally pretty.

She was messy, naturally variegated hair.

She was systematically arbitrary makeup.


She was lackadaisical outfits.

She was off-white teeth.


She was overall beguiling.

She was emotions personified.


She wasn’t conventionally pretty.

But maybe someone could think that she’s beautiful.

She is unique and beauty on the outside doesn’t last. Inner beauty does and when you meet inner beauty you remember it.

unconventional, uncommon, unnoticed...

It's our imperfections that make us unique and stand out.
Perfection is over rated. There's no room for growth. That would be boring. 💛🙂
