if i could

i would trace soft curves with a paintbrush

and take an eraser to my flaws.

if i was

strong enough, i would drape what already exists with cloth

brave enough, i would outline brash lines around my flaws

if i could

i would stain my skin a different color

and shade a smile with a pencil

if i was

exotic enough, i would soak myself in

intriguing enough, i would sharpie along the conturs

if only i could

i would

if only i was

enough
