"The Before and After: A Comparison of Souls"
Location
#flawless
There’s always two souls to a person
The one everyone sees from day to day
And the one that hides and waits for the chance of immersion
Because she never witnesses daybreak
Steadily covered up by make-up, and the tiny inflections
Pointed out by women ashamed of their own faces
Painted.
But who is she?
She’s the girl who posts things on Instagram that relate to her
A girl who loves life and lives right by any means necessary
That’s what makes her perfect
Not in the societal definition, no.
She’s perfect in the way that causes her to conceal with concealers,
Shy away from the stars in her eyes and the curves of her smile,
She’s perfect in the way that makes her remember
That mirrors can be the enemy.
She’s flawless with her songbird spirit, fluid humor that has no filter, and boundary-less humility.
There’s always two souls to a person
The one everyone sees from day to day
And the one that hides and waits for the chance of immersion
Because she never witnesses daybreak
But today she stands up and effaces completely
The charade of the woman she was trying to be
She embraces her large hands, nose, lips, and eyes
The caramel skin and thickness of her thighs
Now she knows that accepting the improbable was possible only because she had never tried
But guys, I’m more than trying now and I understand that perfection is what you make it
