Because you Look Bonita

Because you Look Bonita

A Poem by NelliKong

Looking bontia means so much more than appearance, but truly I don’t think people see the difference. Maybe it’s because the reflection on the other side didn’t give them something they mentioned, they’re from another world or a different dimension.


The words they tried to speak to the other person looking back at them with helpful information, however they didn’t understand the language and the words spoken got lost in translation. The mirror shows all of their abrasions, because they don’t have the skin of a Caucasian or hair like a Malaysian; oh how they just wish to fly away from this with the wings of a raven


But guess what? You’re bonita. Why? You’re bonita because you have the courage to have your flaws on display and how you make them graceful as if you were doing ballet. 


You’re bonita because it’s way more than what the people say. Being bonita means you stay tru to who you are and not blending into the background, it’s about creating your own beat, a different type of sound. So when you look in the mirror again there’s no cracks in the screen, just remember you have something that the world has never seen. 


Look at the reflection and tell them they’re bonita in every shade in between and to fix their crown due to the fact they’re a queen. Bontia… pretty… it doesn’t have to hurt the true goal; you’re bonita from the bottom of my soul.

You know... Bonito in Spanish means Tuna fish... lol

I'm playing with you... but it's true.

I'm Portuguese so Bonita is a word of my language as well...

And yes... it means... beautiful.
