THROUGH THE LENS OF PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

I hate your smile,
I hate the way you laugh,
and I hate your face.

I hate your teeth shape,
I hate your skin colour,
And I hate the way you talk.

I hate your dress sense,
I hate your thinking,
And I hate your eyes.

All these being said to me daily had effects,
it resulted to low self esteem,
it resulted in losing self confidence,
and it resulted to always not smiling,
Till I left the vicinity and met new people.

I grew up into a beautiful young lady and saw the world differently,
those from the old vicinity tried talking to me,
I used my block button for my peace of mind.

And here I am,
embracing my smile,
embracing my laugh,
embracing my face,
embracing my teeth shape,
and embracing my skin colour.

Embracing the way I talk,
embracing my dress sense,
embracing my thinking,
embracing my eyes,
and embracing creativity.

And here’s me,
loving myself,
just being me,
just embracing my flaws.

And here is Faith Bolutife Olawale,
a certified poet,a writer,an upcoming spoken word artist,
a nature and product photographer,
a beauty model and influencer,
a creative beauty brand owner,
an esthetic curator,
a video editor,
a chef with great cooking skills,
a biochemistry student,
an upcoming nutritional biochemist,
I love myself and I’m glad I saw through the lens of being perfectly imperfect.
