The Self
“You’re beautiful!”
I’m sorry what?
“I said, you’re beautiful”
Why are you lying?
“You have amazing hair!”
It’s really not
“But it’s so curly.”
It tangles, it snares
I wish it straight.
“You’re beautiful!”
I’m sorry, I’m not
“But you are!”
Why do you lie?
“Your skin is flawless.”
It’s make-up
“I’m sure you don’t need it.”
You can’t see under it…
My skin, it’s red, a real mess.
“You’re beautiful!”
You joke!
“But I’m not!”
Yes you are.
“You’re eyes are striking”
What?
“They look like sea glass.”
Ok…
“You’re beautiful!”
Really?
“Yes”
You’re sure?
“You’re tattoos are amazing.”
Yes, I think so too
“They look good on you!”
You think so?
“You’re beautiful!”
Thank you, so are you.
“You really think so?”
Yes, you are stunning.
