A glance into the mirror;
and I ask of this reflection "are you the confidence inside this natural
brown skin I wear. And if not is this brown skin; a blanket for me to love on
of who I am underneath it.
The reason for this
topic is that society has tarnished the definition of natural beauty. And the
race is to find in one’s self value in the skin they question. Not limited to being
a female or male we both wear the make-up to natural beauty. That starts in
appreciating the skin you already wear. And when life happens of disappointments, and when people bruise the skin we wear; remember to look into the mirror and
remind yourself to be appreciated it starts with the person in the mirror; first.
Once we honor ourselves
we can teach our children; as well. Whether female or male a self-check
evaluation is required to remind us confidence is our own worth. And it’s
not rare some people don’t value themselves; first.
In a moment of silence
there is Weakness even in the most confident person in the mirror, and when you
are faced with adversity in this life; look back into the mirror and allow yourself;
a second chance.
In a world of life breaking
events you will question your purpose and focus in the skin you are in; of
domestic violence those bruises leave a mental scar; until you allow your heart
time to heal. In that beautiful skin you owe a; second chance.
In a timeless place of a
child abused story; it will break a beautiful mind, and hurt a tender heart.
But the way to heal is to love on those wounds; first.
In relationships that
you feel on the moon if not you exist in them feeling lonely; start with
sincerely allowing the respect of a 2-way conversation to exist. As one speaks
the other person remains in silence.
While searching for the author or speaker to address in a world of heated topics & debates we find ourselves layered in this skin we wear. Seeking validation that ends up a bruise in our egos and its inevitable people are going to do the utmost; because of the broadcasted attention sought out through social media and news released of extreme public information. So we find ourselves exposed and uncomfortable in the natural skin we wear. As we stretch into a comfortable place to physically fit into our own self-identify, abroad a diverse culture of make-up and vanity trying to adjust; by finding the secret to ageless youth and timeless beauty. As the music lyrics & explicit videos expose physical images desired, by all. Now every young girl and boy is fantasizing to be acknowledged abroad.
On a platform that we cannot deny of ourselves of what is advertised to
the world. Of exploited behaviors as we renovate our own identifies; in the presence
of the masses. While judgment is casted in ourselves and debated in skin we question of someone else; with an opinion and idea of whom beauty is. As we continue to
search for answers to timeless questions in mirrors around the world; to figure
out what is this confrontation about in me, as I search for confidence in the
skin I wear if not someone else. Or am I wearing the skin and looking for someone of confidence to
wear it.

many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to
encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and
how you can still come out of it”. Mayou Angelou
