Today I curled my hair

Taking time for each strand 

To make it look perfect and wavy 

 The purpose that I curled my hair is 

To get the satisfaction that I take care of myself

Behind the curly dark hair and blush and lipstick

I cannot bare to show the real me

The frizzy hair and all the acne 

Would I still be considered pretty? 

Without hiding the real me and putting on a show?

Without faking a smile through my round lips?
In today's society we are almost forced to wear makeup 

To feel pretty and if you wear too much

Stop doing it

If you wear none

Put some on

We don't understand the demanding words that we need to be a certain way

So today I curled my hair

For the soul purpose of knowing I take care of myself

Not worrying what people think

 But knowing I feel comfortable in my own skin
