Cover it up cover it up!
There’s gotta be a product for this
a product for that
Eyes. Ears. Skin. Hair.
Size. Color. Sound. Scent. Feel.
But don’t feel
bad
about being told you should feel bad
about your imperfections
your Eyes. Ears. Skin. Hair.
Size. Color. Sound. Scent. Feel.
I bet that model doesn’t feel
a sinking sense of disappointment
when she sees the modifications
on the presentation
of her Eyes. Ears. Skin. Hair.
Size. Color. Sound. Scent. Feel.
It’s funny how I can feel
at twenty-five
like I did at fifteen
when I felt like my blemishes
were too obscene
& I needed to not be seen.
not my Eyes. Ears. Skin. Hair.
Size. Color. Sound. Scent. Feel.
But these blemishes of my
Eyes. Ears. Skin. Hair.
Size. Color. Sound. Scent. Feel.
aren’t all of me.
They aren’t the whole.
What about the blemishes
of the soul
the ones that
cause me to hurt others
break hearts & numb my own
There’s One who
Because of Love
was blemished to take
and finish imperfection
in my soul
He restored and remade
me whole again
both blemished body and soul.
So don’t pay to cover it up
The cover’s been paid.
His life laid
down
and yours made whole
You’re beautiful
body and soul.
